Here's a detailed overview and specification sheet for bearing seals, including their types,

materials, functions, and technical considerations—suitable for manufacturing,


procurement, maintenance, or engineering reference.

⚙️Bearing Seals – Technical Specification Sheet


✅ 1. Purpose of Bearing Seals

Bearing seals are used to:

 Retain lubricant (grease or oil)


 Prevent ingress of contaminants (dust, water, chemicals)
 Extend bearing life and reduce maintenance
 Provide isolation in high-speed or harsh environment applications

✅ 2. Types of Bearing Seals

Type Description & Application


Contact Seals Touch the inner ring; provide tight sealing (e.g., rubber lip seals)
Non-contact Seals No friction; suitable for high-speed applications
Labyrinth Seals Non-contact; use a maze-like path to block contaminants
V-Ring Seals Flexible rubber seals that rotate with the shaft
Integrated multi-lip seals for heavy-duty use (e.g., agriculture,
Cassette Seals
automotive)

✅ 3. Common Seal Designs in Bearings

Design Code Description


RS / 2RS Rubber seal on one/both sides (contact)
Z / ZZ Metal shield on one/both sides (non-contact)
DU PTFE-lined lip seal for high-performance applications
TC / SC / VC Shaft seals with various lip and casing materials

✅ 4. Material Specifications

Component Material Options


Seal Lip Nitrile Rubber (NBR), Viton (FKM), Silicone, PTFE
Casing/Support Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Polyamide
Spring (if present) Stainless or Carbon Steel (garter spring)
✅ 5. Key Technical Parameters

Parameter Typical Range


Operating Temp. -40°C to +120°C (NBR); up to 200°C (Viton)
Pressure Resistance Up to 0.5 bar (standard); higher with special design
Shaft Speed Up to 12,000 RPM (depends on type/material)
Lubricant Compatibility Grease, oil, synthetic lubricants
Ingress Protection (IP) Commonly IP66/IP67 for sealed units

✅ 6. Application Areas

 Automotive (wheel bearings, transmission)


 Industrial machinery
 Electric motors
 Agricultural and construction equipment
 Pumps, compressors, and gearboxes

✅ 7. Standards & Compliance

 ISO 6194 (rotary shaft lip-type seals)


 DIN 3760/3761 (shaft seal dimensions & materials)
 ASTM D2000 (elastomer classification)
 REACH & RoHS (material safety compliance)

✅ 8. Packaging & Identification

 Individual Packaging: Labeled polybags or boxes


 Bulk Packaging: Trays or cartons with part number and batch traceability
 Identification: Marked with size, type, and material code
