Engine Tools Shaft Seal
The SKF 24980 is a CRW1 rotary shaft seal built for engines and rotating equipment where a single lip is sufficient. It suits mechanics and plant engineers who need a standard inch-dimension seal for routine maintenance or original-equipment replacement.
Build Fit and Clearance
The seal installs in a 2.5 in bore and seats against a 3.5 in housing with an overall width of .438 in, leaving the shaft free to rotate up to 640 RPM. Its acrylic-coated case resists distortion during press-fit assembly, and the carbon-steel spring maintains lip tension without additional hardware.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Nitrile rubber lip material handles continuous exposure to mineral oils, diesel, gasoline, greases, hot water, light heating oil and animal or vegetable oils at pressures up to 10 psi. The single-lip design limits heat buildup at the maximum surface speed of 8.81 mps, so sealing performance remains stable during extended duty cycles.
