Sealing Technology
Outrunner products extend Timken aftermarket portfolio
T
he Timken Company is expanding the range of wheel bearing seals and installation tools that the company supplies for the heavy-duty truck aftermarket. The Outrunner line of products, is sourced from a leading manufacturer and sold under the Timken brand, to complement the existing product line and offers a premium seal designed to meet the performance demands of low-maintenance wheel ends. Two designs are available, the Outrunner Standard and the Outrunner PH, Performance Hybrid. They are designed for ease of installation and reduction of friction. Other features include an interlock design that provides enhanced dust and leakprohibiting protection. The Outrunner PH seal features a hybrid metal and rubber outside diameter to reduce installation problems. The improved installation is achieved because the rubber in the hybrid compensates for minor bore imperfections and helps eliminate seal misalignment. It has an exclusionary interlock labyrinth seal design that lowers torque and heat generation to promote longer seal life and potential fuel economy. Outrunner is a registered trademark of Freudenberg-NOK.

Elastoproxy introduces spliced trim seals
E
lasto Proxy Inc has announced that it is able to fabricate film spliced automotive style trim seal gaskets. The trim seal can be cut, bonded by film splice and shipped to the manufacturer ready-to-install providing savings in both fabrication and assembly. The process of manually bonding trim seal gaskets can result in misaligned joints and joints that are not completely sealed due to mating surfaces that are not flush. An unsealed joint can also cause rusting of the metal clip inside the trim seal. The primary difference between a gasket bonded by film splice and other common bonding methods is the elimination of quick set adhesive. Most quick set adhesives
are not compatible with foam rubber causing the rubber to crystallise and crack over time. Film splice technology uses a rubber film along with heat to form a strong bond to create a durable gasket.

New polyimide offers higher temperatures
T
he new SCP polymer family, from DuPont Vespel has been designed to provide improved high temperature performance and overall cost savings in demanding applications. The new materials are expected to work in hotter environments and with a longer life. SCP-5000, unfilled polyimide enables high temperature performance, for sustained periods of time in insulator and seal applications. SCP-5050 and SCP-50094, polyimide with enhanced fillers, are intended for high temperature performance in wear applications. These new material grades are expected to permit weight savings as they may be used for applications where previously only metals may have been considered. The low coefficient of friction can also help to save energy for actuators.
