Simplex Sterntube Seals

The patented design of the SC3 sealing rings minimises friction, retains lubricity and keeps contaminants out of the system. Special net protection rings and dirt rings are also available.

The Airspace seal is an ideal way to comply with the VGP regulations. It is recognised as a zero leakage seal by the authorities. It allows the use of standard mineral oils. It has the lowest air consumption. It provides the best protection for the sterntube bearings and has a fail-safe switch-over from Airspace operating status to standard seal operation for a guaranteed safe continuation of the journey without any requirement for an emergency stop.

The range includes both lip type and face type seals or a combination of the two according to the application. Special seal designs are available for dredgers, icebreakers, FPSOs, tidal turbines, surface warships and submarines.

There is a well established network of service stations around the world supported by large stocks of parts to ensure a quick and effective response to all your requirements.
