SKF radial shaft seals from the HMS series are lip seals designed for rotating shafts. Their function is to retain lubricant inside the assembly and prevent the entry of contaminants such as dust, water or particles. They are mounted in crankcases, covers and cylindrical housings, and are a key part for the service life of bearings and gears. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line.

The designation of these seals combines dimensions and suffixes. For example, a code such as 6X16X5 HMS5 RG indicates shaft diameter 6 mm, outside diameter 16 mm and width 5 mm. The suffix HMS5 identifies the lip construction and material, while RG indicates a design variant, normally associated with the type of elastomer and the spring. Knowing these codes allows you to order the exact replacement without ambiguity.

They are used in a wide variety of equipment: electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, compressors, machine tools, transmission and conveying equipment. In Argentine industry they appear in maintenance of food, chemical, cement and automotive plants and in repair shops. Their presence is critical where there are rotating shafts that must keep lubrication clean and leak-free.

To select correctly, verify the shaft diameter, the housing and the available width. The lip must rest on a ground and lubricated surface. During installation, avoid damaging the lip and make sure the spring is properly seated. Alignment between shaft and housing is essential to avoid premature wear. If the seal operates at high speed, consider lubrication and operating temperature.

There are equivalences between brands, but they are not always interchangeable without verifying tolerances and materials. A seal of the same size may differ in lip type, elastomer or spring. Therefore, when replacing, compare not only the dimensions but also the service conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you to find the right alternative within its seal line.
