SKF radial shaft seals are sealing elements that prevent lubricant leakage and the ingress of contaminants in equipment with rotating shafts. They are mounted in gearboxes, pumps, electric motors and a wide variety of industrial machines. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell SKF seals, with advice to choose the right model according to the working conditions.

Each SKF seal is identified by a five-digit numeric code, such as 14006, 14018 or 14087. These numbers are not arbitrary: the first two indicate the design type and the remaining three define the main dimensions, usually the shaft diameter, the outer diameter and the width. Therefore, when requesting a seal, it is essential to verify that the code matches exactly the original part or the measured dimensions. If you do not have the code, you can send us the dimensions and we will identify it for you.

SKF radial shaft seals are used in a large number of industrial applications in Argentina. They are present in gearboxes and electric motors in manufacturing plants, in centrifugal pumps in chemical processes, in road and agricultural equipment, and in machine tools. They are also common in the food industry, where reliable sealing is required to prevent product contamination. Their function is to retain the oil or grease inside the assembly and, at the same time, block dust, water and other particles that could damage the bearings and shorten the equipment's service life.

To correctly select a seal, take into account the shaft diameter, the housing diameter and the width. It is key that the running surface is in good condition: if it has grooves or wear, the lip will not seal properly even if the seal is new. During assembly, lubricate the lip with the same grease or oil as the equipment, check the alignment and avoid hitting it. Cleaning the housing and using suitable tools, such as those we sell, extend the seal's life.

Regarding interchangeability, SKF seals can be replaced by products from other recognized brands as long as the standardized dimensions and the lip type match. However, not all seals are the same: the elastomer material, the spring and the lip design influence performance. Therefore, when substituting, it is advisable to verify the temperature, speed and fluid type conditions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you to find the right equivalent without compromising equipment reliability.
