Protection against dry running
In order to safely avoid dry running of the shaft sealing ring arranged at the top, a grease filling (4) and
a ring (3) are provided above the shaft-sealing ring (2). In such case, a shaft-sealing ring with no additional
dust lip is applied. The ring (3) is fitted with a set screw (1) on the input shaft and prevents grease from
escaping upwards. The ring (3) rotates contactless in the housing cover, during operation.

Taconite seal
Taconite seals have been specially developed for use in a dusty environment. The
penetration of dust is prevented by a combination of three sealing elements
(radial shaftsealing ring, lamellar seal and greasecharged labyrinth seal).
