SKF Imported Four Lip Housing Seal, Housing Dia 147.5 mm, Width 16 mm

SKF Four Lip Housing Seal also known as the SKF V-ring seal, is a type of radial lip seal designed and manufactured by SKF, a leading provider of bearing and seal solutions. The four-lip seal is commonly used in various industrial applications to provide effective sealing and protection against contaminants, lubricant leakage, and the ingress of dirt and moisture.

The SKF four-lip seal consists of a V-shaped sealing profile with four lips arranged in a specific configuration. The seal is typically made of a flexible and durable elastomeric material, such as nitrile rubber (NBR) or fluoro rubber (FKM), which allows it to effectively conform to the shaft surface and maintain a tight seal.

The four-lip design of the seal provides several advantages over traditional single or double lip seals. The lips are arranged in a way that they exert pressure on the shaft surface from different angles, enhancing the sealing effectiveness and reducing the risk of leakage. This design also enables the seal to accommodate axial shaft movement and misalignment.

The SKF four-lip seal is relatively easy to install and can be used in a wide range of applications, including rotating shafts, bearing housings, gearboxes, and other machinery components. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, mining, and power generation.

When selecting a four-lip seal, it is important to consider factors such as the operating conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, and speed), the type of fluid or lubricant being sealed, and the shaft size and material. SKF provides a range of different sizes and materials to meet specific application requirements.
