Rotary shaft seals

Shaft seals are essential for preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of aerospace and defense systems. Made from high-quality materials, they resist extreme temperatures, chemicals, and high-speed rotation, and offer low friction. Commonly used in engines, actuators, and transmission systems, these seals ensure fluid containment and protect against external contaminants, enhancing the safety and efficiency of aircraft.
