Elring 041.491 Multi-Purpose Seal Ring

Elring 041.491 Multi-Purpose Seal Ring

Elring 041.491 is a multi-purpose seal ring built from NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) for dependable sealing in automotive service applications. With a 60.0 mm inside diameter, 80.0 mm outside diameter, and 10.0 mm thickness, it is sized for precise sealing where a radial shaft seal design AS is required.

Key Features

• Part number: 041.491
• Material: NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber)
• Inside diameter: 60.0 mm
• Outside diameter: 80.0 mm
• Thickness: 10.0 mm
• Dust lip included for added sealing protection
• Radial shaft seal design: AS

Detailed Product Overview

This Elring seal ring is engineered for sealing points that require stable rubber performance and a compact radial shaft seal profile. The NBR construction offers the material characteristics commonly specified for automotive sealing tasks, while the dust lip adds an extra barrier against contamination. If you are sourcing Elring 041.491 for maintenance work, this seal ring provides the dimensional consistency needed for service on applications that call for a 60 x 80 x 10 mm seal. It is also a practical cross-reference option for select OE and aftermarket applications, including Victor Reinz 81-17085-00 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or hardened seal ring
• Addressing fluid seepage at a shaft sealing point
• Restoring sealing performance where dust intrusion is present
• Supporting service work that requires a 60.0 mm ID, 80.0 mm OD seal
• Matching OE-style sealing dimensions for automotive repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the required dimensions, seal profile, and radial shaft seal design before installation. Inspect the shaft and housing for wear, scoring, or contamination, and clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before fitting the new ring. Verify that the dust lip is oriented correctly for the application, and compare the removed part to Elring 041.491 to ensure the dimensions and design match the service requirement. For fitment research, use the vehicle-specific application data for the exact make, model, and position.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized name in gaskets and sealing systems, and this seal ring is manufactured to meet the dimensional and material requirements expected in automotive service parts. Part number 041.491 is identified for sealing applications where NBR construction and AS radial shaft seal design are specified.
