Development of a General Purpose Cassette Seal

The objective of the development project was a cost effective and relative simple unitized seal suitable for various applications ranging from engine to axle. Furthermore, it should fit into a 10mm radial and 10mm axial space and be suitable for the various methods of assembly encountered. The design chosen is based on an axial elastomeric lip running on a radial counter surface. Tests have been carried out to establish the designs parameters and the limits of performance.
