Improved Sealing Technology Extends Equipment Life
December 1, 2008
Th e primary sources of bearing failure
are lack of lubrication and contaminant
ingress. Industrial sealing devices are the primary protection against bearing failure. When the sealing device fails, bearing failure is imminent. Th erefore, extending
the life of sealing devices extends bearing life and in turn improves equipment uptime.
