ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.
In addition to their sealing and durability properties, natural rubber gaskets also offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids
. This makes them suitable for use in harsh industrial environments where exposure to corrosive substances is common.Thoroughly clean the sleeve at the back of the pulley, and look for any roughness on it where it touches the seal. If necessary, smooth it with fine wet-and-dry abrasive paper.
Regular inspection and replacement of oil seals are also necessary to prevent leakage and maintain the efficiency of the machinery. Over time, oil seals can wear out due to constant friction and exposure to harsh conditions, leading to leaks and potential damage to the equipment. By monitoring the condition of oil seals and replacing them as needed, operators can prevent costly downtime and repairs.
Several variables, including maximum temperatures, required lubricants, available space, and more, may influence your choice of bearing seal.
