Manufacturing flexibility

Whether you need large volumes or a single seal in a range of standard or customized seals, the SKF production model can respond quickly to your supply needs.

Moulded seals production technology allows for cost-effective production of seals in high volumes. Responding to your requirements, we can use compression, injection and transfer molding technologies. 

We can produce many seal designs, such as metal-cased seals, rubber outside diameter seals with metal inserts, fabric-reinforcement as well as all-rubber types that allow customization of large diameter seals. We also produce large diameter seals from elastomers or polyurethanes. One of the specialties is the polyurethane based seal which can be installed on site to reduce downtime.

SKF SEAL JET technology, used to manufacture machined seals, is based on proprietary software and special tools developed by SKF for machining different polymers, especially polyurethanes. Without any tooling costs, it allows fast and flexible production of prototypes for innovative applications, low-volume series or replacement seals. This just-in-time machining capability can provide single-piece supply of seals with high quality.
