KLS® Lip Seal Sizes
What is a KLS rotary lip seal?
KLS seals are composite spring-loaded rotary lip seals with an HNBR body and an extrusion resistant plastic heel. They have remarkable high-pressure performance, compared to other spring-loaded lip seals. This performance is due to the hydrodynamic interfacial lubrication of the extrusion-resistant plastic portion of the seal. This interfacial lubrication is provided during rotation by a patented hydrodynamic wave geometry on the low-pressure end of the seal. Like all Kalsi-brand rotary shaft seals, the KLS seal requires a lubricant reservoir to accommodate the hydrodynamic pumping related seal leakage. Unlike most Kalsi-brand seals, the lubricant for the KLS seal can be supplied from a simple gravity fed reservoir. The KLS seal was designed as a rotating control device (RCD) seal. It has been tested with 1,000 psi differential pressure at 545 ft/minute and 1,500 psi at 136 ft/minute. It can be used in most pressure-retaining applications that require high performance rotary lip seals.
