SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept pioneering new seal designs and bonding techniques ever since. Each seal is made to a specific design using premium materials suited to its application and environment, keeping lubricants in and contaminants out.
A wheel seal's lip rides against the rotating surface to hold lubricant in and keep dirt and moisture away from the bearing. Signs it may need replacing include lubricant seeping at the wheel end, residue on the wheel or nearby brake parts, or a torn seal found during service.
