Type LX Oil Seals

LX-type shaft seals are designed for applications that demand high sealing performance under challenging conditions of pressure, speed, and temperature, combined with a particularly robust structure. This type of seal features a main sealing lip with a reinforcing spring, along with an optimized body design that enhances structural rigidity and stability during dynamic operation.

The LX type is distinguished by its reinforced geometry, which may include a fully metallic or composite (metal-elastomer) outer structure, and a tighter fit within the housing, making it suitable for assemblies subject to vibration, slight misalignments, or high radial loads. Some models may also incorporate a dust or wiper lip for added protection against external contaminants.

Thanks to these features, LX seals are especially recommended for heavy-duty industrial applications, transmissions, engines, gearboxes, agricultural machinery, and commercial vehicles, where long service life and reliable operation under variable or severe conditions are critical.

They are available in materials such as NBR, HNBR, and FKM, selected according to fluid compatibility, operating temperature, and shaft speed. Their design is optimized to ensure excellent lubricant retention, resistance to internal pressure, and protection against the ingress of dust, mud, or moisture.
