SKF 6372 LDS & Small Bore Seal, R Lip Code, CRW1 Style, Inch, 0.625" Shaft Diameter, 1.375" Bore Diameter, 0.25" Width

Radial shaft seals help retain lubricants and other fluids in hydraulic and pneumatic systems by sealing a rotating, oscillating, or reciprocating shaft or rod against its housing. They have a flexible lip (made of an elastomer such as nitrile or polyurethane) that comes into contact with the surface of the shaft to form a dynamic seal. Shaft seals generally have a steel outer case where the lip is bonded, and the outside diameter of the case is slightly larger than the bore of the housing to achieve a tight, press-fit seal. Double-lip seals, which have a second sealing lip, are typically used to separate two different system fluids. Radial shaft seals are used in various aircraft, automobiles, construction equipment, and foundry machines, among others.SKF manufactures bearings, seals, and lubrication systems for automotive, energy, and other industrial applications. The company, founded in 1907 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14001 and ISO/TS 16949.

• For use as either a large diameter seal (LDS) or small bore seal for power transmission applications
• Single steel case for durability
• SKF WAVE seal lip for keeping counterface well-lubricated, reducing friction, while facilitating expulsion of contaminants
• Carbon steel garter spring for structural support and increased durability
• Non-hardening, water-based acrylic sealant on outside diameter for reduced friction
