Split Rotary Seals
Why use a spit rotary seal?
The main reason is time and money savings or critical applications where extended downtime cannot be tolerated, the time it takes to remove a shaft and or bearing assembly from a piece of equipment can result in loss of production or efficiency in production. On larger pieces of equipment this can mean a big team is required and parts of the plant need to shut down just to replace and inexpensive rubber seal on a bearing housing. A split bearing seal can be replaced quickly and without disassembly of the shaft
How do you install a split rotary seal?
Installing our split rotary or bearing seal requires no special training, this video explains how easy it is to install. Larger shafts above 200mm may require and additional hand to make the job a bit easier

What is runout in seals? Imagine a spinning wheel. If the wheel is perfectly round and spins straight, it's like a perfectly balanced object. But if the wheel is slightly bent or uneven, it will wobble as it spins. This wobbling is called runout. In large shafts this effect can be much worse because as items get bigger so does the tolerance.

The Technology used in our Split rotary seals:
All split seals should be installed with the split at the top ( 12 o’clock position ) but we have taken this further by adding 2 energized splits - We place the 2 points where the seals split at 55 minutes and 5 minutes in relation to a clock so the splits don’t line up and with our innovative ball and socket Duo-lock we ensure the seal split is secure and wont come loose
