In addition to its durable polyurethane base, the Timken UltraWind P1 Seal contains a variety of other features, including:
- A flexible sealing lip that is designed to handle any misalignment or run-out in the application of the bearing. The lip’s special profile also helps minimize heat generation and cone wear while helping to accommodate bearing deflections;
- A corrosion-resistant, stainless steel garter spring that helps prevent rust.
- A machined design for a broader, more diverse range of applications, plus ease of installation via stress minimization. This design also allows for multiple positions at the cone lip OD contact; and
- A cross-sectional size of 25 mm x 32 mm so the UltraWind P1 Seal designed to easily retrofit standard elastomer seals.
