Product Identity
The SKF 13876 is a new rotary shaft seal designed for engine repair and maintenance tasks. It fits shafts with a 1.375 in inside diameter and a 2.562 in outside diameter. Mechanics and DIY enthusiasts use it to retain lubricants and exclude contaminants in rotating assemblies.
Operating Limits
The seal handles a maximum pressure of 10 psi and a top rotational speed of 3,480 RPM. Its nitrile rubber lips suit animal and vegetable oils, diesel, gasoline, greases, hot water, light heating oil and mineral oils. Surface speed must not exceed 6.38 mps.
Installation Notes
Press the seal squarely into the housing bore to avoid lip damage or case distortion. The carbon steel spring and acrylic-coated case aid retention, but misalignment during fitting often causes immediate leaks. Verify shaft surface finish and chamfer before assembly.

Questions about this item
Which shaft diameter matches the 1.375 in inside diameter of this SKF 13876 seal?
Choose this SKF 13876 seal when your shaft measures exactly 1.375 in (1-3/8 in) in diameter. The inside diameter is made to fit that shaft size with a 2.562 in outside diameter and .375 in width.
What does the 10 psi maximum pressure rating mean once the seal is installed?
The 10 psi rating is the highest fluid pressure the double-lip NBR seal can hold reliably in service. Pressures above that can push past the lips and cause leakage on oil, grease, fuel or water systems.
How does the 3,480 RPM limit affect the seal in a running engine?
At 3,480 RPM the contact lips reach the rated 6.38 m/s surface speed. Running the shaft faster raises lip temperature and wear, so the seal is suited for moderate-speed shafts such as pump, gearbox or accessory drives.
