SKF 29218 Rotary Shaft Seal
This SKF rotary shaft seal uses a CRW1 design with a nitrile rubber lip and carbon steel spring. It fits an inside diameter of 2.938 inches and an outside diameter of 3.623 inches. The overall width is .375 inches and the case has an acrylic coating. It is designed for rotary motion sealing applications.
Check shaft dimensions and fluid compatibility
Verify that the shaft diameter matches the 2.938 inch inside diameter and the housing bore matches the 3.623 inch outside diameter. Confirm the operating fluid is among animal and vegetable oils, diesel, gasoline, greases, hot water, light heating oil, or mineral oils. Ensure the surface speed does not exceed 9.46 mps and rotational speed stays below 2,400 RPM. The maximum pressure rating is 10 psi.
Replaces worn seals in compatible housings
This seal replaces a worn or leaking rotary shaft seal with the same CRW1 dimensions and nitrile rubber lip material. The upgrade is worth it when the original seal has hardened, lost spring tension, or shows lip wear causing leaks. It restores sealing performance for the listed fluids and speed limits in the existing housing.

Questions about this item
What does the SKF 29218 shaft seal include and is any installation tool or additional component sold separately?
The package contains the single CRW1 rotary shaft seal with nitrile rubber lip, carbon steel spring and acrylic-coated case. No installation tool, lubricant or mating hardware is supplied; these must be sourced separately.
How do I confirm the 29218 is the correct size for my shaft and housing?
Match the seal to a shaft diameter of 2.938 in and a housing bore of 3.623 in with a 0.375 in groove width; the seal is designed to the inch system of measurement.
What does the 2,400 RPM speed rating mean for actual service life on my equipment?
At the maximum 2,400 RPM the lip surface speed reaches 9.46 m/s; running continuously at or near this limit with the rated 10 psi pressure will accelerate lip wear, so lower speeds and clean lubrication extend service intervals.
