Technical Details and Material Benefits

The Elring 477.010 crankshaft seal is constructed from Fpm, a fluoride rubber known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, oils, and chemicals commonly found in engine compartments. The seal’s dimensions—55.0 mm inside diameter, 68.0 mm outside diameter, and 8.0 mm thickness—are engineered to fit specific crankshaft housings precisely, reducing the risk of leaks and premature wear. The integrated dust cover with a dust lip helps protect the seal from dirt and debris, extending its service life. The radial shaft seal design (Aw/bs) combined with the swirl type (Rd) enhances the seal’s ability to maintain a tight barrier under dynamic conditions.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This engine crankshaft seal is compatible with various makes and models requiring a 55 mm inside diameter seal with the specified dimensions and design features. It is commonly used in European and Asian vehicles where Elring parts are specified. For exact fitment, consult vehicle-specific repair manuals or parts catalogs referencing part number 477.010.
