Selecting the proper elastomer formulation is critical for long-term operational integrity. The default NBR option excels in standard mineral oils, greases, and hydraulic fluids, delivering exceptional wear resistance across ambient to moderate heat conditions. For extreme operating environments, the FKM variant provides superior resistance to aggressive synthetic lubricants, fluids, and high thermal stress. The high chemical inertness and anti-aging properties of FKM minimize elastomer degradation, preventing hardening, cracking, and lip wear under harsh thermal cycles.

Achieving maximum seal service life requires precise installation and proper housing pre-treatment. Prior to mounting, inspect the shaft surface for burrs, scoring, or misalignment; the shaft surface hardness should ideally meet ≥ 45 HRC with a surface roughness of Ra 0.2–0.6 µm. Lubricate the seal lips and shaft journal with clean system fluid before press-fitting. Always utilize a flat driver tool that applies uniform pressure directly to the outer steel skeleton edge to avoid cocking the seal in the housing bore. Due to its low-friction lip design and drop-in fit dimension (48*62*15 mm), the seal reduces downtime during routine overhauls.
