Two-piece Hub Seal design for improved dirt exclusion
Designed to reduce maintenance and prevent unnecessary wear on expensive spindles, the Grit Guard two-piece design provides effective and lasting protection against contamination.
A two-piece design, the Grit Guard seal features a spindle-installed deflector ring. This provides dirt exclusion for extended seal performance and insures a new surface for the sealing lip. The deflector ring can often repair a damaged or worn spindle shoulder.
The hub-installed metal case seal provides a metal-to-metal continuous press fit between the seal and hub. In addition, a blue coating is applied to the seal to prevent minor seepage between the seal and hub.
Grit Guard's Elasto-Leather sealing lip provides an excellent temperature range from -65ºF to +250ºF remaining flexible and durable. Also, the lip rotates on the deflector ring for improved heat dissipation and less lip travel per wheel rotation.
Grit Guard is available for the rugged, severe duty applications that other seals are not available for.
