SKF Scotseal X-Treme Seals Provide Maximum Uptime and Lower Operating Costs for Fleets
SKF offers Scotseal X-Treme wheel-end seals for fleets looking for maximum uptime, the lowest cost per mile, and a seal suitable for heavy-duty operations. Developed for higher highway speeds and shorter stopping distances experienced by modern heavy-duty line haul vehicles, SKF Scotseal X-Treme seals provide dependable performance, lower friction, higher rolling efficiency, and improved fuel economy than conventional commercial vehicle seals. These advantages allow fleets to reduce downtime and lower maintenance costs. Application coverage includes truck, bus, and trailer wheel ends for driven and non-driven axles.
Advanced materials for superior performance
Scotseal X-Treme seals use an advanced HNBRX material that provides outstanding heat resistance and broad compatibility with synthetic lubricants. Unique EPDM material on the seal ID helps lock the sleeve in the correct position on the spindle, ensuring optimal contact between seal lips and the sleeve running surface at all times. The low friction design helps fleets improve fuel economy and minimize seal wear.
Unitized design provides clean running surfaces for sealing lips
Scotseal X-Treme seals have multiple sealing lips. The primary, patented, ‘Waveseal’ sealing lip sweeps oil back towards the bearings and the axle avoiding seal leaks, while the dirt barrier seal lips keep out contaminants to extend service life.
Hand installable
The Scotseal X-Treme seal is hand-installable and features a unitized, one-piece design. It includes a metal unitizer rings for sealing lip protection during installation and service.
According to Cengiz Shevket, Vice President Innovation & Business Development Reliability Solutions, “Scotseal X-Treme has demonstrated 10x life and 50% friction when tested against competitor’s solutions. Fleets can boost truck uptime minimize unscheduled service and improve fleet fuel economy with Scotseal X-Treme. Plus, our 5-year, 500,000-mile limited warranty allows fleets to choose Scotseal X-Treme with confidence.”
