SKF has long been a leader in seal design and development, and it invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. The company has kept pioneering new designs and bonding techniques since then. Its seals are built to specific designs with premium materials, so each one has the right properties for its application and its environment.
A wheel seal stays stationary while its lip contacts the turning surface. It is designed to hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out. Signs it may need replacing include lubricant seeping around the wheel, residue on brake parts, or a torn or hardened seal found during service.
