SEALS

Out in the field, seal failures can lead to several costly problems, such as unplanned downtime, lost productivity, and contaminated soil and crops. Robust sealing solutions from SKF can help withstand the severe contamination common to agricultural applications.

SKF has a wide range of industrial radial shaft seal designs (CR seals) for any focus, rating, and speed requirements. Proven, tried, and tested, there is an SKF seal for almost every agricultural task in every part of the tractor. The products are available from stock and many agricultural equipment distributors are already providing them.

The application-specific products offer a high-performance solution, designed to reduce the need for relubrication, saving precious hours needed for field work. The seal design significantly improves contamination exclusion when compared with conventional triple-lip seal designs.

SKF has recently launched a new generation cassette seals for wheel-end applications of agriculture vehicles. MUD11 is used in the wheel end of tractors, skid steers, wheel loaders which uses oil in their application. The application challenges of long and intense working periods, exposure to harsh contaminated environment provides a perfect opportunity for MUD11 sealing solution, which will help to exclude contamination ingress and loss of lubricant of the wheeFl end.

1. Half-metal/half-rubber outside diameter
Improves static sealing, heat dissipation and retention in housing.

2. Bumper
The bumper positions the sleeve relative to the seal to balance the right interference for the axial lips. It also acts as a line of defence against contaminants.

3. SKF developed nitrile rubber
Represented by all of the light-green areas in the illustration, this standard SKF Mudblock sealing lip material is a unique nitrile rubber compound. Specially formulated by SKF to reduce wear and ageing, this advanced material is compatible with most synthetic oils.

4. Curl
Curled feature closes the unitized design, promotes easier installation and dismounting and also prevents seal disassembly during transport and handling.

5. Main lip
The spring-loaded main sealing lip keeps the sealing lips lubricated and promote sealing ability regardless of rotation direction. This results in less friction and wear for extended service life.

6. Integrated counterface
Wear sleeve and seal form a single, unitized seal unit that eliminates shaft machining requirements.

7. Multiple sealing lips
Pre-greased auxiliary radial and axial lips support the main lip for maximum protection against liquid or solid contaminant ingress.

8. Full rubber inside diameter
Contributes to effective static sealing and helps to reduce the assembly force required for installation.
