Omniseal^® Polymers

Standard for secondary elements and dust excluders and a good general purpose solution for heat and wear resistance, Fluoroloy^® A16 material performs well on shaft surfaces with moderate hardness. It is good in both lubricated and non-lubricated media (a good option for sealing water).

Excellent in dry running applications or non-lubricated liquid medias such as water, freon, diesel fuel, gasoline, etc. Non-abrasive to the mating running shaft surface (good option for sealing water).

Best wearing material in oil. Requires a hardened shaft surface of 55 HRC for best performance. May cause excessive shaft scoring on soft metals (excellent wear resistance).

Meets FDA requirements. Suitable for soft shafts such as 316 stainless steel. Not recommended for water service (has fair wear resistance).
 

Superior heat and wear resistance. Non-abrasive to running shaft surfaces. Recommended for limited lubrication or non-lubricated applications where running temperatures exceed 375°F (190°C). Not recommended for use in steam or water (fair wear resistance).

Garter springs are coiled steel springs connected at each end to create a circular shape. Like most other springs, they are typically manufactured with either carbon steel or stainless steel wire.

Omniseal^® 10 rotary lip seals are economical designs employed in a wide range of applications. They are used in lubricated and non-lubricated environments.

Omniseal^® 20 lip seals are modifications of the Omniseal^® 10 seal design. This sealing solution offers longer life and improved sealing of gases and abrasive media due to their higher lip load. 

Omniseal^® 30 and 40 lip seals incorporate a threaded sealing lip, which pumps the media away from the seal. 

Omniseal^® 50 lip seals offer low torque and long life. Due to their light lip loading, these designs should not be used where a leak-tight seal is required. They are an excellent environmental seal. 

Omniseal^® 60 incorporate spring loading which improves sealing where shaft runout or bore/shaft misalignment exist. These designs offer positive sealing during long-term storage.

Omniseal^® 70, 80 and 90 lip seals offer double lip designs that are used in high pressure and speed applications. This sealing solution has an option of having a primary threaded primary lip with a standard secondary sealing lip for lubricated condition.
