  • Seal Width: 8.001 mm (1.968 inches) optimized for driveline sealing

Technical Details and Specifications

The FAG SS3013 differential pinion seal features a nitrile sealing material known for its excellent resistance to petroleum-based fluids and temperature variations commonly found in automotive driveline environments. The rubber seal incorporates a spring to maintain consistent radial pressure, preventing leaks around the pinion shaft. With a bore diameter of 80.01 mm and an outside diameter of 80.162 mm, this seal fits tightly within the differential housing, while the 8.001 mm width provides a robust sealing surface. These precise dimensions make the SS3013 suitable for various vehicle makes and models requiring reliable differential pinion sealing.

Applications and Problem Solving

  • Prevents differential oil leaks that can cause driveline damage
  • Protects internal components from dirt and moisture intrusion
  • Maintains proper lubrication by sealing the pinion shaft area
  • Reduces wear on differential gears by preventing contamination
  • Helps avoid costly repairs related to seal failure in axle assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the FAG SS3013 differential pinion seal, ensure the bore and shaft surfaces are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into the housing without distortion. Verify the spring is correctly positioned to maintain sealing pressure. Proper lubrication of the seal lip before installation can help prevent damage and ensure a longer service life.
