About Trelleborg Oil Seal
Founded in 1952, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions was previously a part of the Smiths Group's precision seals business. This business, Polymer Sealing Solutions, consisted of four rubber units. These were Busak+Shamban, Dowty Automotive, Shamban and Forsheda. In 2003, Polymer Sealing Solutions was acquired by Trelleborg AB.

Versatile Applications Across IndustriesThe Trelleborg single lip oil seal is widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, automotive, and industrial machinery. Engineered to maintain a reliable seal on rotating shafts, it ensures optimal equipment performance and longevity. Its superior material and construction make it suitable for a variety of operating environments where oil, fat, and hydrocarbon resistance are critical.
Precision Engineering and Robust PerformanceManufactured with strict adherence to tolerances and hardness specifications, this seal provides consistent, leak-free operations. Pressure resistance of up to 0.05 MPa and a wide working temperature range make it adaptable for different mechanical demands. The use of premium NBR material ensures lasting performance and helps reduce maintenance cycles.
FAQ's of Trelleborg Oil Seal:
Q: How does the Trelleborg Oil Seal enhance equipment performance in industrial settings?
A: The oil seal maintains an effective barrier on rotating shafts, preventing fluid leakage and ingress of contaminants. Its high wear resistance and precise tolerance contribute to longer equipment life and reduced maintenance requirements in industrial applications.
Q: What process should be followed for installing the single lip rotary shaft seal?
A: Begin by cleaning the shaft and housing surfaces thoroughly. Confirm the correct dimensions using the provided size range, then carefully press the seal into place, ensuring it sits flush and does not twist or deform. For optimum sealing, ensure the lip is properly lubricated during installation.
Q: Where can this oil seal be used within automotive systems?
A: It is suitable for use in engines, gearboxes, and differential assemblies where sealing rotating shafts is essential for preventing oil leaks and maintaining clean lubrication systems.
Q: What benefits does nitrile rubber (NBR) provide for this oil seal?
A: Nitrile rubber offers excellent resistance to oils, fats, and hydrocarbons, making it ideal for environments where exposure to such substances is frequent. It also delivers high tensile strength and temperature stability, keeping the seal effective under challenging operating conditions.
Q: When should the Trelleborg Oil Seal be replaced?
A: Replacement is recommended if leakage is observed, during routine maintenance, or when signs of wear such as cracking, hardening, or deformation are detected. Regular inspections help ensure optimal sealing and system reliability.
Q: How is the pressure resistance of up to 0.05 MPa significant for hydraulic and pneumatic systems?
A: This pressure rating ensures the seal can handle typical system pressures, preventing oil or fluid loss while maintaining integrity and performance under operational loads common in hydraulic and pneumatic machinery.
