Sealing solution for the metals industry
30 October 2013
SKF's HSS seals for the metals industry are the company's most recent addition to its line of industrial radial shaft seals.

HSS seals offer rolling mills a reliable, easy-to-install solution for mill stand chocks. The range features a new concept of seal reinforcement and is SKF’s preferred offer for large size bearing protection in metal-making assets.
The seals are available in nitrile rubber (NBR) and two SKF-developed materials – SKF Duratemp (HNBR) and SKF Duralife (FKM). The standard grade of these materials is used for the sealing lip, while the part of the seal body contacting the housing bore is made from a harder grade to provide improved stability. This concept of reinforcing the seals allows split designs, which facilitates installation and replacement.
