The SKF hydraulic seal of the GA series is a single-lip radial shaft seal designed to be mounted on hydraulic cylinder rods. Its function is to contain the fluid under pressure and prevent leaks, while at the same time blocking the entry of contaminants. It is manufactured with high-resistance elastomers and a precise sealing lip that runs on the rod surface. It is a key component in industrial hydraulic equipment, where reliability and durability are essential to keep operations running without downtime.
The GA series designation is interpreted from the full part number, which combines the fixed letters GA with a set of dimensions. For example, in GA 16X26X5X8, the numbers indicate dimensions in millimeters: bore diameter, outer diameter, overall height and lip height, respectively. This nomenclature makes it possible to quickly identify the size and configuration of the seal. When looking for a replacement, it is essential to match these dimensions to ensure a correct fit in the housing and on the rod.
GA series hydraulic seals are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina. They are found in agricultural machinery cylinders, road equipment, hydraulic presses, lifting systems and power transmission. They are also found in the metallurgical, mining and construction industries, where equipment operates under demanding conditions. Their design makes them suitable for withstanding moderate and high pressures, with good behavior against wear and weather exposure.
To correctly select a GA seal, take into account the hydraulic fluid used, the working temperature and the system pressure. Installation requires absolute cleanliness: any particle can damage the lip and cause leaks. Check that the rod has no burrs or scratches and lubricate the seal before inserting it. The alignment between the rod and the housing must be precise to avoid lateral forces. In addition, it is advisable to check the condition of the rod surface and replace the seal if it shows signs of hardening or cuts.
There are hydraulic seals from different manufacturers on the market that may be equivalent to the SKF GA series. Interchangeability depends on the dimensions and the lip type matching. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: the actual dimensions and service conditions must be compared. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you to find the best alternative, whether from the same brand or another that meets the requirements. It is always advisable to consult a specialist before replacing one seal with another.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the GA seal I need?
- You have to read the part number engraved on the old seal or measure the rod diameter, the housing diameter and the heights. With those measurements, the GA part number is built with the values in millimeters. If you can't find it, send us the measurements on WhatsApp and we will help you identify it.
- What is the difference between a GA seal and other hydraulic seals?
- The GA is a single-lip radial shaft seal for rods, with a specific geometry that seals against the rod and the housing. Other types, such as piston seals or O-rings, have different functions and shapes. The choice depends on the application and the available space.
- Can I replace an SKF GA seal with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the dimensions and the lip type are compatible. Don't rely only on the part number; compare the actual dimensions and the working conditions. At MR we advise you to choose a reliable alternative that fulfills the function.
