Designed to maintain optimal sealing in demanding automotive applications, this wheel seal supports precise bore and outside diameters for a secure fit.

• Metal seal type for enhanced durability and strength
• Nitrile sealing material resistant to oils and wear
• Bore diameter options: 2.623 inches (66.624 mm)
• Seal outside diameter: 2.627 inches (66.726 mm)
• Seal width measurements: 1.688 inches (9.525 mm)

Technical Specifications and Design Details

The FAG SS2743 wheel seal is constructed with a metal outer casing that provides structural integrity and resistance to deformation under pressure. The nitrile sealing lip offers effective protection against contaminants such as dirt, water, and grease, ensuring the driveline components remain lubricated and free from damage. The bore diameter of 2.623 inches (66.624 mm) and outside diameter of 2.627 inches (66.726 mm) allow for a precise fit in compatible wheel hubs. The seal width of 1.688 inches (9.525 mm) ensures adequate surface contact for sealing without excessive friction.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Prevents grease leakage from wheel bearings
• Protects driveline components from dirt and moisture ingress
• Reduces wear on axle shafts by maintaining lubrication
• Minimizes risk of seal failure in metal-to-metal contact areas
• Helps maintain vehicle driveline efficiency and longevity

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the FAG SS2743 wheel seal, ensure the bore and outside diameters match the vehicle specifications precisely. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly before installation to avoid contamination. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into place without damaging the sealing lip or metal casing. Lubricate the sealing lip lightly with compatible grease to facilitate installation and initial operation.
