Lube&Seal

The lubrication of seals is important: to facilitate assembly of the seal or the profiled elastomer; for seals on rotating shafts; to prevent intrusion of dirt at the protective lips of radial shaft seals

Wherever seals operate under dynamic load, leakage of the medium may occur. If a lubricant film fails to form between the elastomer seal and the shaft, or if an existing lubricant film ruptures, friction between the moving components may lead to a sharp rise in temperature and consequently failure of the sealing materials and increased wear (shaft under-cut). A lubricant that is not up to the task can also affect the seal material, leading to leakage and system breakdown.

• tested compatibility with elastomers
• a combination of sealing material and lubricant enabling optimised friction conditions
• optimised solutions for entire tribological systems
• full consultation during the product development stage
• increased reliability for all products and components
