SKF 4985 CRWA1 Rotary Shaft Seal
This SKF rotary shaft seal suits maintenance on engines and rotating equipment where a 0.5 in shaft requires sealing. The CRWA1 design handles common automotive fluids including gasoline, diesel, mineral oils and greases. Mechanics and plant technicians fitting original-spec replacements will find the dimensions match the 4985 part number.
Nitrile rubber lips with carbon steel spring
Dual nitrile rubber lips and a carbon steel garter spring maintain contact pressure up to 10 psi. The acrylic-coated case resists corrosion during installation and service. An inch-series 0.999 in outside diameter and 0.25 in overall width allow direct fit into standard bores without machining changes.
Replaces worn seals on 0.5 in shafts
Use this seal when leakage appears at the shaft exit or during scheduled overhauls of pumps, gearboxes or engine accessories. The 3,420 RPM and 2.28 m/s speed ratings cover typical light-duty rotating applications. It is not suited for high-pressure hydraulic systems or shafts larger than the stated inside diameter.

Questions about this item
What rotational speed does the CRWA1 design cap at?
The CRWA1 seal is rated for a maximum rotational speed of 3,420 RPM and a maximum surface speed of 2.28 mps.
What shaft and bore diameters does the 0.5 x 0.999 x 0.25 in seal require?
It fits a 0.5 in shaft and a 0.999 in housing bore with a 0.25 in overall width.
How is the nitrile rubber lip installed and what step is often missed?
Press the seal evenly into the bore with the spring side facing the fluid; the step often missed is lubricating the lip and shaft before installation to prevent dry-start damage.
