MC21


Metal-cased PTFE rotary seal with wiper lip

This high-performance seal design incorporates a formed primary seal lip and an opposed secondary lip that provide dirt exclusion and act as a lube retainer, typically used for gearboxes and environmental seals. It may be used either lubricated or unlubricated. It is designed specifically for high-speed and low pressure sealing applications.
