Technical Details and Material Specifications

The Elring 325.156 crankshaft seal is manufactured using Fpm (fluoride rubber), a material known for its resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals commonly encountered in engine environments. The seal’s dimensions—32.0 mm inside diameter, 47.0 mm outside diameter, and 10.0 mm thickness—are precisely engineered to fit specific crankshaft housings. The ASW radial shaft seal design ensures a tight fit around the rotating shaft, while the dust lip provides additional protection against dust and contaminants, extending the service life of the engine components. The swirl type Wd design enhances the sealing capability by managing oil flow and pressure effectively.
