PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION

Triple Lip (Mud) Seals.

Springless seals featuring multiple sealing lips are common in applications where heavy dirt and mud are encountered (such as in farming equipment). Grease is packed between the sealing lips. These designs are suitable for applications in which shaft speeds are less than 2.5 meters per second (500 feet per minute).

Figure 81 shows a triple-lip seal (with a double case) designed for internal sealing. Figure 82 shows a triple lip seal (with a single case) for external sealing.

“Though the standard shaft seals shown previously are ideal for a wide variety of applications, they are not the best solution to every design problem.”
