Radial-Wellendichtringe
In keeping with current practice in standards published by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), a comma has been used throughout as the decimal marker.
Foreword
This standard has been prepared by the Normenausschuß Kautschuktechnik (Rubber Technology
Standards Committee). It is based on ISO 6194-1 : 1982.
Amendments
The following amendments have been made to the April 1972 edition.
a) For shaft diameters 32, 35, 38 and 40 mm, a nominal width of 8 mm has been introduced to account
for new designs.
b) Information to be provided by both the manufacturer and the purchaser has been included.
c) The standard has been editorially revised.

Designation of a type A rotary shaft lip seal intended for a shaft diameter, d1, of 25 mm, with an outside diameter,
d2, of 40 mm and a width, b, of 7 mm, with an elastomeric component of acrylonitrile/butadiene rubber (NBR):
EXAMPLE 1:
Lip seal DIN 3760 – A25 × 40 × 7 – NBR
If seals are to be marked with a symbol denoting the material of the elastomeric component used (cf. subclause
5.2), a ‘G’ shall be included in the designation.
EXAMPLE 2:
Lip seal DIN 3760 – A25 × 40 × 7 – NBR – G
If it is required that metal inserts and springs be provided with an improved corrosion protection, a ‘K’ shall be
included in the designation.
EXAMPLE 3:
Lip seal DIN 3760 – A25 × 40 × 7 – FKM – K
or
Lip seal DIN 3760 – A25 × 40 × 7 – FKM – GK
Up to 50
Over 50 up to 80
Over 80 up to 120
Metal inserts and garter springs shall be made from steel, the grade and surface protection being at the
manufacturer’s discretion. Where seals are exposed to fluids which will cause corrosive damage to the steel,
a ‘K’ shall be included in the designation (see example 3 in clause 3) and agreement should be reached between
manufacturer and user with regard to the corrosion protection of the metal insert and the material for the garter
spring.
For materials to be used for the elastomeric component, see table 3.

The selection of the base elastomer shall take into consideration the type of fluid to be sealed, the maximum
continuous operating temperature and the rotational speed of the shaft (cf. clause 6).
5 Marking of seals
5.1 Size
Seals conforming to this standard shall be permanently marked with at least the size (d1 × d2 × b) and the
manufacturer’s symbol (only where space allows).

6 Use
Type A or AS seals are capable of providing a fluid-tight fit suitable for all operating temperatures and housing
materials with differing coefficients of linear thermal expansion.
The advantage of the minor lip on type AS seals is that it prevents the ingress of contaminants. In order to reduce
wear, the space between the sealing lip and minor lip shall be filled with a suitable lubricant so as to increase
the resistance of shafts to corrosion. The lubricant used shall be compatible with the base elastomer; both the
elastomer and the lubricant shall be chemically resistant to the fluids present in the shaft assembly.
Limits for the operating conditions (e.g. fluid pressure, shaft speed, chemical and thermal resistance of the
elastomere used) are given in subclauses 6.1 and 6.2. If all of these limits will be reached simultaneously, or
if individual limits will be exceeded, the seal manufacturer should be consulted (cf. annexes A and B).

7 Seal installation
7.1 General
In addition to the manufacturer’s instructions, the following guidelines shall be observed when installing seals.
The sealing lip shall face the fluid to be sealed and shall be unobstructed. The seal shall be pressed home and
completely square by means of suitable installation tools, taking care to prevent misalignment and to ensure
that the seal does not carry any load in service.
To prevent damage to the sealing lip during installation, it is recommended that
a) the shaft be rounded (with a corner radius of r 1) or chamfered (if the shaft is fitted in direction z or the seal
fitted in direction y, as in figure 4) or
b) the shaft be chamfered (if the shaft is fitted in direction y or the seal fitted in direction z, as in figure 4).

7.5 Shaft run-out
The tolerances on shaft run-out shall be as shown in figure 8. It should be noted that in the case of higher shaft
speeds, the sealing edge may not be able to follow any shaft movement due to its own inertia. If the shaft run-
out results in the distance between sealing edge and shaft becoming larger than required for maintaining
hydrodynamic lubrication, oil may leak from the seal. It is therefore advisable to position the seal as close as
possible to the bearing to minimize the clearance between bearing elements.
