Axial gamma seal - GAMMA 01

Axial Gamma seals are axial seals consisting of 2 sections, one coated metal ring and one mould vulcanised elastomer sealing element. Because the Axial gamma seal rotates, it acts as both a seal and a flinger, deflecting away any foreign liquid or materials from the sealing face.

PROFILE




PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
• Sealing against grease, dirt, dust and water
• No costly machine down time as repairs are reduced to a minimum
• Low cost repair method
• Good in combination with rotary shaft seals
• Good dynamic sealing action
• Simple installation
• The metal ring protects the elastomer sealing element against damage

APPLICATION
Axial Gamma seals are used in many different applications. They are particularly suited to applications where entry of water or other contaminants is critical, such as marine or earth moving equipment. They are often used in combination with rotary shaft seals.
 
- Industrial gearboxes
- pumps
- transmissions
- construction machinery
- electric engines
- prop shafts
- etc.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
The Axial Gamma seal creates a centrifugal effect which contributes to the good sealing function. Dust, dirt and water spray from the outside are, for the most part, flung away. In addition, a number of technical requirements must be met to ensure good sealing effect and a long service life.

INSTALLATION
The Axial Gamma seal is easy to install. The elastomer sealing part should be greased before installation to improve the dynamic friction coefficient and thus to ensure a longer lifespan. This also avoids adhesion after a longer standstill period.
