JM Clipper Seals

JM CLIPPER OIL SEALS

“Clipper Oil Seals provide superior performance in the most demanding and critical applications.

OEMs worldwide know Clipper Oil Seals for their ability to provide superior performance in the most demanding and critical applications. A one-piece moulded construction and the ability to provide application-specific designs, if needed, are just a few of the reasons Clipper seals are specified for critical applications. These applications include as aircraft landing gear, military vehicles, underground mining equipment and roll chocks used in the steel industry. Clipper seals are available for shaft diameters from 0.250″ (6.35 mm) to over 65″ (1651 mm) in both standard and high performance elastomer compounds. With over 10,000 tooled sizes, Clipper seals are readily available for most applications in either a solid or split design.

The Clipper design features an integrally moulded rubber fibre outer case and an elastomeric seal lip. The unique, non-metallic construction will not rust or corrode and forms a gasket-type seal between the equipment housing and the seal outside diameter (OD). With a wide range of profiles and material options, Clipper seals are available for shaft diameters from 0.250″ (6.35 mm) to over 65″ (1651 mm).

Clipper Split Seals are known worldwide for being the easiest split seal to install because they do not require a coverplate to keep them in the housing. The robust, composite OD provides the best retention of any split seal on the market. Replacing failed seals in the field with Clipper Split Seals saves on downtime and lost production expenses. To make replacement even easier, specify Clipper solid seals as the OEM solid seal. When cutting a metallic seal is required for in-field replacement, there is the the possibility of metal shavings entering the bearing. The non-metallic design of the Clipper seal eliminates this possibility.

302 Stainless Steel  is standard on Clipper Oil Seals (316 SS is also available)where the industry standard is a lower quality carbon steel . Clipper’s spring material provides improved lip loading at higher temperatures and resists the rust and corrosion that is common with lower quality materials. The upgraded spring ensures consistent lip loading over the life of the seal.
