SKF 27271 Rotary Shaft Seal
The SKF 27271 is a new rotary shaft seal built to the HM14 design code. It fits a 2.75 inch shaft inside a 3.5 inch bore with an overall width of .25 inch. The single nitrile rubber lip handles grease-lubricated agricultural machinery and resists animal or vegetable oils, diesel, gasoline, greases, hot water and mineral oils. The uncoated case installs directly without a spring.
Mechanics maintaining farm equipment
This seal suits technicians servicing grease-lubricated agricultural drives that run up to 2,513 RPM and see no more than 10 psi. It will not serve applications that need a double-lip design, a spring-loaded lip or a coated case for corrosion protection. Buyers working with higher-pressure hydraulic systems or non-listed fluids should look at a different specification.
Steady operation at rated speed
Under continuous rotation the nitrile lip maintains contact without the aid of a spring, keeping grease in and contaminants out up to the 2,513 RPM limit. Heat buildup stays low because the design runs unpressurised at 10 psi maximum. The single lip wears evenly in steady agricultural duty rather than in short high-speed bursts.

Questions about this item
What shaft diameter must I already have for the 27271 seal to fit?
The seal is designed for a 2.75 in inside diameter, so the shaft must match that size.
Will the nitrile lip material hold up against the diesel and gasoline residues in my older engine?
The nitrile rubber lip is rated for diesel, gasoline, mineral oils, greases and other listed fluids.
How can I confirm the seal is seated correctly after installation?
Check that the 0.25 in width sits flush in the housing and that the spring-loaded lip contacts the shaft evenly.
