• Seal Type: Metal spring inner shell for durability and flexibility
• Sealing Material: Nitrile for resistance to oils and wear
• Bore Diameter: 136.55 mm (5.376 inches) ensuring accurate fitment
• Seal Outside Diameter: 136.677 mm (5.381 inches) for tight sealing
• Seal Width: 12.7 mm (3.875 inches) for effective sealing depth

Technical Details and Specifications

The FAG SS3406 wheel seal is constructed with a metal spring inner shell that provides consistent tension to maintain sealing integrity under various operating conditions. The nitrile sealing material offers resistance to automotive fluids, including oils and greases, which helps prevent leaks and contamination. With a bore diameter of 136.55 mm and an outside diameter of 136.677 mm, this seal is designed for precise fitment in compatible driveline and axle assemblies. The 12.7 mm width ensures adequate sealing surface area to protect wheel bearings and other components from dirt and moisture intrusion.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Prevents oil and grease leakage in wheel hubs
• Protects wheel bearings from dirt and moisture contamination
• Maintains driveline component integrity under high-speed rotation
• Reduces risk of premature bearing failure due to seal degradation
• Ensures consistent performance in metal spring inner shell seal applications

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the FAG SS3406 wheel seal, ensure the bore and outside diameters match the vehicle specifications to avoid improper fitment. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly before installation to prevent damage to the nitrile material. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into place without distortion. Verify that the metal spring inner shell is properly seated to maintain sealing tension.
