Robust Shaft Sealing for Heavy-Duty Applications
Fabric-reinforced rubber rotary shaft seals, also known as elastomer/fabric rotary shaft seals, are used primarily wherever high mechanical loads and large system components come together. Typical application areas include rolling mills, large gearbox construction, shipbuilding, the paper industry and the food industry.
The seal consists of a specially designed outer jacket made of NBR/fabric, FKM/fabric or HNBR/fabric. This enables controlled sealing in heavy-duty applications – depending on the version up to 0.50 bar, and with special designs up to a maximum of 4 bar.

Fabric-reinforced rubber rotary shaft seals from INNSEALS
Fabric-reinforced rubber rotary shaft seals are special rotary seals for demanding industrial applications. They are used when conventional rotary shaft seals are not the right solution due to installation size, load or operating environment.
The combination of elastomer and fabric creates a durable seal design that is particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications. The design type, material, pressure load, medium, shaft movement and installation situation are decisive for reliable performance.
Design and available materials
The outer jacket of fabric-reinforced rubber rotary shaft seals is specially designed for robust operating conditions. Different elastomer/fabric combinations are used depending on the requirements.

When Fabric-Reinforced Rubber Rotary Shaft Seals are useful
Standard rotary shaft seals are suitable for many conventional rotary applications. However, for very large dimensions, harsh operating conditions or increased mechanical loads, a more robust seal design may be required.
Fabric-reinforced rubber rotary shaft seals are useful when a durable shaft sealing solution is required for heavy-duty applications. INNSEALS supports you in assessing whether a standard version is sufficient or whether a fabric-reinforced rubber solution is technically more suitable.

Your FAQs answered
Frequently asked questions:
Rubber fabric shaft seals consist of a combination of elastomer and textile reinforcing fabric. They are used primarily in demanding applications requiring high dimensional stability and load capacity.
These seal rings are particularly suitable for difficult installation conditions, large diameters or when high mechanical stability is required. They offer advantages over purely elastic seals.
The fabric insert provides additional strength and dimensional stability. This keeps the seal rings dimensionally accurate and resistant to mechanical influences even under load.
Compared to metallic reinforcements, fabric versions offer more flexibility while maintaining high stability. They can often be better adapted and are less susceptible to corrosion.
Yes, their robust construction makes them well suited for demanding environments. However, the exact suitability depends on the elastomer used and the respective operating conditions.
