Steel Disk Seals protect roller bearings from liquids

Type LST-L NILOS-Ring Seals offer protection for grease-lubricated roller bearings in applications where wash-down or regular exposure to liquids may be required. Stainless steel, non-contact labyrinth seals incorporate Viton gasket for extra sealing, especially when liquids are in permanent contact with bearings. With 4 mm profile, units come in range of sizes to accommodate various internal and external bearing dimensions.

New NILOS-Ring steel disk seals available from SKF Motion Technologies (Bethlehem, PA) offer protection for grease-lubricated roller bearings in applications where wash-down or regular exposure to liquids may be required. Their design uniquely incorporates a VITON gasket, which further enhances sealing performance, especially when liquids are in permanent contact with bearings.

These all-metal non-contact labyrinth seals serve as a practical and easily utilized method to help improve bearing performance and extend service life, even in the harshest industrial operating environments.

Type LST-L rings are ready-to-install, compact, and feature a low profile for added space-saving benefits. Manufactured from stainless steel, these seals are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various internal and external bearing dimensions.
