Excavator Floating Seal
The floating seal is a simple product made up of two components: a seal ring made of special cast iron and a rubber component (O-ring / gasket). Two identical seals form a pair when used. The sliding component, the seal ring, is supported by the rubber component, so it does not come in contact with the shaft, closely conforming to the radial and thrust motion of the shaft. Floating Seals developed for slurry applications, the seal ring is very hard, wear resistant and made of corrosion resistant material. The rubber component presses the sliding surface of the seal ring and also acts as a seal. It is therefore made of a material that has a cold temperature and very high durability to heat and has a compressive strength that is long enough to extend its compression life.
