The SKF sealing category brings together parts working in different machine positions. Radial shaft seals serve rotating shafts, while hydraulic seals relate to cylinder assemblies. V-rings, sealing washers and Speedi-Sleeve wear sleeves have separate lines. Before comparing dimensions, identify the surface being sealed and the part’s mounting arrangement.
For replacement work, the code and observation of the assembly complement each other. A sleeve restoring the shaft track is distinct from the seal working on that track. Likewise, similar-looking rings can have different functions. Preserve the order of the parts when documenting disassembly and photograph the housing as well as the removed element.
Send the complete designation, quantity and dimensions from the physical part or drawing, identifying the source of each measurement. Add the application, shaft or rod movement and fluid identification when known. If the marking does not identify the execution, photographs of the profile and both faces help direct the search to the correct line without inferring material from color.
