Description:

• The Forsheda type Rubber Seals is an all-rubber seal that seats directly on the shaft and seals axially against a counter face, housing, seal case or similar surface.
• Designed with a long flexible lip, the seal acts like an axial slinger. It can retain heavy lubricants and is highly effective in excluding contaminants. The Rubber Seals can be used as the primary seal or as a secondary backup seal.
• Because it is all rubber and very elastic, it can be stretched over flanges or other assemblies for positioning without any unit disassembly. The (Forsheda type) Rubber Seals performs well in dry applications and is capable of handling a greater amount of eccentricity and misalignment than most radial lip type seals. The axial movement should however not exceed the axial sealing range of the lip. Each (Forsheda type) V-Ring can be used for a range of different shaft sizes.
• The Rubber Seals is the excellent seal to prevent the ingress of dust, dirt, water or combinations of these media while positively retaining grease. With its unique design and performance, the Rubber Seals can be used with a wide range of bearing types. It can also be used as a secondary seal to protect primary seals that do not perform well in hostile environments.
• In certain applications, (Forsheda type) Rubber Seals can take up to 10 psi on the body side only. (Forsheda type) Rubber Seals should not be used on shafts mounted below sump level.

When selecting the correct rubber compound it is necessary to take the following requirements into account:

• good chemical resistance
• good resistance to high and low temperatures
• good resistance to ozone and weathering
