Scotseal classic

Unitized one piece seal designed to provide excellent sealing and contamination exclusion

The SKF Scotseal Classic is a unitized, one piece design that offers excellent sealing life in a broad range of operating conditions. This seal uses a sealing element that is assembled between a metal outer and inner case. To extend service life, the three-lip sealing element contains a pre-lubed, spring-loaded primary sealing lip, a dirt exclusion lip, and an outer bumper lip. A Bore Tite coating ensures a better seal than a metal-to-metal press fit.
