Greases have a relatively high viscosity and are relatively easy to retain in a bearing
arrangement. In many grease lubricated applications, a non-spring-loaded sealing lip design or a
V-ring can adequately retain the grease ( fig 1).
 
However, more demanding applications may require HMS5 or CRW1 spring-loaded radial shaft
seals ( fig 2 and fig 3).
 
When frequent relubrication is required, the lip of at least one of the seals in the sealing
arrangement should be directed toward the air side so that excess grease can escape via the
sealing lip ( fig 4). This avoids grease build-up, which can retain heat and limit heat dissipation.
For grease lubricated applications, SKF recommends calculating the permissible circumferential
speed for oil and halving the result.

n many applications, the exclusion of contaminants is just as important as lubricant retention.


Seals with an auxiliary lip, like the HMSA10 seals ( fig 1), are appropriate for these applications.
 
Another option is to use two seals installed in opposite directions ( fig 2 and fig 3) or two
opposing V-rings ( fig 4) with a spacing washer.
 
Under extremely tough operating conditions, SKF recommends using HDDF metal face seals
( fig 5) provided that the sliding velocity of the mating surfaces lies within the permissible range.
