Cassette-type seals are fully integrated and encapsulated sealing systems designed for high-demand applications, especially in harsh environments with a high presence of contaminants, moisture, mud, dust, or severe dynamic conditions. Unlike conventional seals, the Cassette type not only includes the sealing lip or lips, but also an inner housing or sleeve that protects and guides the shaft, functioning as a complete modular unit.
This design enables multiple and progressive sealing, as it incorporates several sealing lips (primary, dust, scrapers, and sometimes pressure lips) arranged in series within a metal housing. These lips are made of high-performance elastomers (NBR, HNBR, FKM) and are held in position by reinforcement springs and internal guide elements. The cassette is installed as a closed unit, which facilitates assembly, reduces the risk of installation errors, and extends the service life of the system.
Los retenes Cassette son especialmente recomendables en aplicaciones todoterreno, agrícolas, forestales, de minería y maquinaria de construcción, donde el eje está expuesto a condiciones extremas y es necesario minimizar el mantenimiento, evitar el ingreso de partículas abrasivas y mantener la lubricación interna en condiciones óptimas.
Thanks to their encapsulated design, Cassette-type seals eliminate direct contact between the shaft and the sealing lips, reducing shaft wear and improving the overall efficiency of the system. In addition, they allow for better heat and lubricant distribution, making them suitable for long-lasting applications and intensive duty cycles.
