SB20


Lowest friction single-lip PTFE rotary shaft seal

This machined low-torque seal lip design extends seal life within its pressure limits.  It is capable of handling extreme temperature, aggressive media, high surface speeds, and can even run dry.  The soft seal OD eliminates damage to housings manufactured from expensive metals.  An integrated O-ring on the OD of the seal serves as an anti-rotation device and provides positive static sealing between the seal and the bore.  Typical applications are dust/dirt excluders, balanced spindles, conveyers. Small quantities are available in 2-4 days.
