Radial shaft seals in the SKF HSS R line keep lubricant where it belongs and keep dust, water and other contaminants out of rotating shaft assemblies. You will find them in bearing housings, electric motors, pumps and gearboxes, among other equipment. Each seal pairs a flexible sealing lip with a rigid reinforcement element, which is what gives the part its shape retention and resistance to wear. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and assists you in pinning down the exact size your equipment calls for.

Reading the code is the fastest way to narrow down a seal. Take 1748-1916-48 HSS8 R and 2000-2200-56 HSS8 R: the leading numbers describe shaft diameter, housing diameter and width, given either in millimeters or in thousandths of an inch depending on the series, while HSS8 identifies the lip type and material and the closing R points to a design variant, typically tied to the spring or the lip profile. Still, the code alone is not enough. Confirm the selection against the measured shaft and housing dimensions.

These seals show up across a broad range of industrial equipment: electric motors, centrifugal pumps, speed reducers, gearboxes, conveyor rollers and agricultural machinery, to name several. Their job is twofold, holding oil or grease in and blocking dust, water and particles from reaching the bearings. In plants where contaminants are a constant presence, such as food processing or washdown areas, a correctly specified seal helps equipment run longer between unplanned stoppages.

Selection comes down to three measurements first: shaft diameter, housing diameter and the width available. From there, check peripheral speed, operating temperature and the lubricant in use. During installation, lubricate the lip and use tools that will not nick the sealing edge. Shaft-to-housing alignment matters as well, since too much eccentricity speeds up wear. Where vibration is high, a spring-loaded or reinforced design is worth considering, and cleaning the seat area beforehand avoids early failures.

SKF radial shaft seals can replace seals from other recognized manufacturers when the standardized dimensions and the lip type line up. Matching bore and outer diameter is not sufficient on its own: width, overall height and lip design all affect how the seal performs. When swapping a seal, set the original code next to the SKF designation and check whether an equivalent variant exists. Our team can help you locate a suitable equivalent without sacrificing equipment performance.

If the code is on hand, send it over WhatsApp or email and we will prepare your quote. Without a code, share the shaft and housing dimensions, a photo of the part and a description of the application, and we can work out the matching SKF reference. We also suggest equivalents and help with selection when you are unsure. Technical inquiries are handled Monday through Friday.
