Key Features

Enhanced Rubber Outside Diameter (RG)

The outside diameter of the 42X72X8HMS5RG is made of SKF’s optimized nitrile rubber compound (RG), Acrylonitrile-butadiene, which has been designed following developments in sealing material research. Nitrile rubber can be used in applications with oil or grease lubrication in temperatures ranging from -40oC to 100oC (-40oF to 210oF), or up to 120oC (250oF) for short periods of time. This nitrile rubber has greatly extended service life compared to standard NBR and high-performance NBR compounds, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement.

Improved Sealing Performance

HMS5 seals like the 42X72X8 HMS5RG offer improved sealing performance through features like an optimized rubber outside diameter and spring-loaded sealing lips. These elements ensure effective sealing even in challenging conditions, such as considerable surface roughness or split housings.
