SKF integral seals for spherical plain bearings


Seal Illustration Design characteristics Suitability

RS design

Double-lip contact seal made of

  • polyester elastomer for metric bearings with a bore diameter d < 320 mm,
    –30 to +130 °C (-20 to +265 °F)
  • acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber for metric bearings with a bore diameter d ≥ 320 mm,
    –35 to +100 °C (-30 to +210 °F)
  • polyurethane for inch bearings,
    –20 to +80 °C (-5 to +175 °F)

  • for compact bearing arrangements, mainly indoors
  • for cramped spaces
  • for high sealing demands when combined with an outboard seal
  • for long service life with minimal maintenance
  • for arrangements with bearings that rotate

LS design

Triple-lip heavy-duty contact seal made of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber with sheet steel insert,
-55 to +110 °C (-65 to +230 °F), for short periods up to +125 °C (+255 °F)
  • for compact bearing arrangements
  • for high sealing demands
  • for long service life with minimal maintenance
  • for arrangements with bearings that rotate
  • for difficult operating conditions in the presence of sand or mud
