Description
Description The TC9 profile is a shaft seal composed of a single metal cage with a rubber coating, a primary sealing lip with an integrated spring and three additional radial and axial anti-pollution sealing lips. * Very good static sealing* Very good thermal expansion compensation* Greater roughness is allowed in the housing* Reduced risk of corrosion* Sealing for low and high viscosity fluids* Modern primary sealing lip with low radial forces* Protection against undesirable air contaminants Application All types of rotative applicationsMachine toolsAgricultureConstructionTransmissionGear boxesMotorsPumps Materials Rubber ACM 70 – 75 Shore AEPDM 70 – 75 Shore AFKM 70 – 75 Shore AHNBR 70 – 75 Shore ANBR 70 – 75 Shore A Metal cage Steel – AISI 1010 Spring Steel – AISI 1070 – 1090Stainless steel – AISI 316Temperature | -25°C/+200°C |

ACM
Polymers containing ethyl acrylate (or butyl acrylate) have a small amount of monomer, which is necessary for cross-linking; ACM is a material with better heat resistance than NBR. It is often used for automatic gearboxes.

EPDM
As an Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer copolymer, EPDM is commonly used for hot water taps, cooling systems, brake systems, dishwashers and washing machines.

FKM
Depending on their structure and fluorine content, the chemical resistance and resistance to the cold in fluororubbers can vary. This FKM-based rubber is very often used for high-temperature hydraulics and pneumatics, for industrial valves, injection/fuel systems, motor seals and high-vacuum systems.

HNBR
This HNBR-based rubber is obtained through selective hydrogenation of the NBR’s butadiene groups. It is commonly used for power-assisted steering and for air conditioning.
Chemical resistance | Aliphatic hydrocarbons Mineral and vegetable oils and greases Fire-resistant fluids (HFA, HFB and HFC) Diluted acids, saline solutions and bases for operation at an average temperature Water and steam up to +150°C Atmospheric and ozone agents |

NBR
Nitrile rubber (NBR) is the general term for acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer. The ACN content can vary between 18% and 50%. While the acrylonitrile content is important, the resistance to oil and fuel is more so. Conversely, the elasticity and compression set are not as good. The NBR has good mechanical properties and good wear resistance. However, its resistance to atmospheric agents and the ozone is relatively low.
