The shaft seal K 73028 is a precision sealing element designed for bearing housing K 73011 in the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, providing effective sealing around rotating shaft components. Its primary function is to prevent leakage of lubricants while simultaneously protecting the bearing assembly from contamination by dirt, moisture, and external particles. Engineered for operation under continuous shaft rotation, vibration, thermal variation, and lubrication exposure, the seal maintains reliable elasticity and sealing performance over long operating periods. Manufactured from high-quality elastomeric and wear-resistant materials, it offers excellent resistance to friction, pressure, and chemical degradation. Precise dimensional accuracy ensures proper fit and stable contact with the rotating shaft surface. By maintaining lubrication integrity and protecting internal bearing components, the K 73028 shaft seal contributes significantly to operational reliability, reduced maintenance requirements, and extended service life of the bearing assembly and associated engine systems.
