Shaft Seal for Rotary Applications

The SKF 34886 is a CRW1 rotary shaft seal built for 3.5 in shafts with a 4.501 in housing bore. Its single nitrile rubber lip and carbon steel spring suit general industrial and automotive sealing tasks.

Pressure and Speed Envelope

The contact seal handles a maximum of 10 psi and 2 160 RPM, yielding a surface speed limit of 10.17 mps. These boundaries define the operating window for reliable lip contact and heat management.

Nitrile Lip Material Compatibility

Nitrile rubber resists mineral oils, gasoline, diesel, greases, animal and vegetable oils, light heating oil and hot water. It is not suited for aggressive solvents, strong acids or high-temperature synthetic fluids.

Questions about this item

Which SKF shaft-seal size matches a 3.5 in shaft and 4.501 in bore?

The 34886 seal is built for a 3.5 in inside diameter, 4.501 in outside diameter and .375 in width, so it fits that exact shaft-and-bore combination.

What does the 2,160 RPM rating mean once the seal is installed?

It is the maximum rotational speed the nitrile lip can handle continuously; running the shaft faster risks overheating the lip and shortening seal life.

How does the 10 psi pressure limit affect sealing in practice?

The single-lip CRW1 design is rated for 10 psi maximum; pressures above that can push the lip off the shaft and cause leakage.
