Double lip seals

Two lips — for service life, or for two media

SAB has both lips facing the same direction and extends service life. SAC, MAC and MSC work in opposition: they separate two media, or seal vacuum and pressure in a single component.

Two lips, one direction — patented

Both sealing lips point in the same direction. The second lip extends service life considerably without changing the installation space.

Two directions

Two opposing lips separate two media from one another — or seal vacuum and pressure in a single component. The space between the lips can be lubricated.

Used, for example, in rotary unions that carry compressed air and vacuum through a shared channel.

The limits for pressure and circumferential speed apply separately, not simultaneously. The temperature range depends on the elastomer selected.
