Wheel end seals Seals in wheel bearings are key in determining the life of the unit. If the seal allows external contaminants to enter the bearing or lubricant to escape from the bearing, then premature failure of the unit will result. SKF wheel end seals providing oil and grease sealing offer enhanced performance in a
Suspension seals Suspension systems serve a dual purpose: contributing to the vehicles’ road holding and braking capacity, and keeping occupants comfortable and reasonably isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations. The main area for sealing in the suspension system is within the shock absorber. SKF provides sealing solutions to increase service life and reduce friction.
Steering seals With power steering system the driver needs to provide only modest effort on the steering wheel, regardless of roads conditions. Many power steering applications use high-pressure hydraulic systems where seals are critical components, playing an important role in preventing pressure loss. SKF power steering seals retain steering fluid in high-pressure applications while allowing
Engine Seals Today’s consumers want more power, higher fuel efficiency and a quiet, comfortable ride from a new car.
