Shaft Seal Kits for Kinetix TLP Servo Motors
About Shaft Seals
A shaft seal is recommended if the motor shaft and end bell are exposed to significant amounts of
containments, such as oil, fluids, or fine dust. Use a shaft seal in these environments to prolong
the life of the motor. A shaft seal and Bulletin 2090 cables with environmentally sealed
connectors are required for an IP65 rating or greater.
See Kinetix® Motion Accessories Specifications Technical Data, publication
, to
find Bulletin 2090 cables with environmentally sealed connectors for your motor.
Required Tools
Use these tools to install a shaft seal:
• Insulated, small, flat-head screw driver
• Rubber/wooden mallet or a metal hammer and wooden work piece
• Socket, pipe, or tube (various sizes)
• Abrasive cloth to remove any nicks or burrs from the motor shaft
Required Supplies
Lubricant - Grease, industrial grade, suitable for applications with speeds up to 6000 RPM, and
–10…+80 °C (14…176 °F) temperature range.
IMPORTANT
The shaft seal is not required in applications where the motor shaft and end bell are free of oil,
fluids, or fine dust, and a lower IP rating is sufficient.
Shaft seals are subject to wear and require periodic inspection and replacement. Replacement
is recommended every 3 months, not to exceed 12 months, depending on use.
If you paint the motor, do not get paint on the shaft seal area or the shaft, as paint can decrease
the life of the shaft seal.
