Timken 1195 Wheel Seal - Front Inner or Rear Inner

Timken 1195 Wheel Seal Overview

The Timken 1195 wheel seal is engineered for reliable sealing performance in driveline and axle applications. Designed specifically for Porsche 924 and Volkswagen Beetle models, this wheel seal ensures proper protection against contaminants and fluid leaks.

• Constructed from durable S-nitrile material for enhanced resistance to heat and wear
• Outside diameter measures 2.275 inches (57.78 mm) for precise fitment
• Shaft diameter of 1.562 inches (39.67 mm) ensures compatibility with specified vehicle axles
• Housing bore dimension of 2.061 inches (52.34 mm) for secure installation
• Width options of 0.338 inches (8.59 mm) provide effective sealing depth

Detailed Product Description

The Timken 1195 wheel seal is manufactured from S-nitrile, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and high temperatures. This material choice helps maintain seal integrity under demanding operating conditions commonly found in Porsche 924 and Volkswagen Beetle driveline systems. The seal’s precise dimensions—including an outside diameter of 2.275 inches and a shaft diameter of 1.562 inches—ensure a snug fit that prevents leakage and contamination. The housing bore size of 2.061 inches supports proper seating within the axle assembly, while the 0.338-inch width provides sufficient sealing surface to maintain pressure and fluid retention.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Prevents axle grease leakage in Porsche 924 and Volkswagen Beetle wheel hubs
• Protects driveline components from dirt, water, and debris intrusion
• Reduces risk of premature bearing wear caused by contamination
• Maintains proper lubrication environment for extended axle life
• Addresses common seal failure issues in older Porsche and Volkswagen models

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Timken 1195 wheel seal, ensure the sealing surface and housing bore are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into place without distortion. Verify the shaft diameter matches the seal specifications to avoid leaks. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with compatible grease before installation to reduce initial wear. Proper installation will help maintain the seal’s effectiveness and extend driveline component life.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Timken manufactures the 1195 wheel seal to meet stringent quality standards for durability and performance. The use of S-nitrile material and precise dimensional tolerances supports consistent sealing reliability. While specific warranty details may vary, Timken products typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects, providing confidence in the part’s quality for Porsche 924 and Volkswagen Beetle applications.
