Application and fit
This SKF 7443 rotary shaft seal fits a 0.75 in shaft and a 1.25 in bore with a 0.25 in overall width. It is built for mechanics and maintenance teams who need a direct replacement in inch-dimensioned equipment.
Upgrade considerations
The CRWA1 design adds a second lip and a carbon-steel spring over single-lip seals, giving better retention in gasoline, diesel, mineral oils, greases and hot water. The jump is worth it when the original seal leaks at low pressure or when the shaft runs up to 3,960 rpm.
Sustained operation
Nitrile lips and an acrylic-coated case handle continuous speeds of 3.93 mps while staying within the 10 psi pressure limit. The dual-lip arrangement keeps lubricant in and contaminants out during extended duty cycles.

Questions about this item
What bore and shaft dimensions does the 7443 seal fit?
The seal fits a 0.75 in shaft and a 1.25 in bore with a 0.25 in width.
How is the CRWA1 seal installed and what step is often missed?
Press the seal squarely into the bore until flush; the step often missed is pre-lubricating the nitrile lips with clean oil before installation.
When should the nitrile lip seal be replaced?
Replace the seal if leakage appears, the lips harden or crack, or after the shaft exceeds 3,960 RPM or 3.93 mps surface speed limits.
