Applications

Three Zero Duplication stocking plans have been developed to maximize coverage:

• Gold (up to 6"/160mm shaft sizes) – seals used in heavy industry (pulp and paper mills, ore processing, mining operations)
• Silver (up to 4"/100mm shaft sizes) – seals used in general industry (including heavy-duty, high-horsepower motors)
• Bronze (up to 2.5"/60mm shaft sizes) – seals used in light-duty service (including motion-control equipment, conveying operations)

Zero Duplication is an effective way to do more with less. This program features a special selection of oil seals that are designed to meet the requirements of applications with shaft diameters up to 12 inches (300mm) with zero duplication of comparable seals.

Improve Coverage and Reduce Inventory

Each Zero Duplication seal offered by Timken replaces several similar seals, providing comprehensive application coverage with less inventory. This line of seals incorporates the most effective performance features in a range of common sizes. They are engineered to fit and perform well within many industries.

Zero Duplication Seals Feature:*

• Spring-loaded, dual-lip sealing element that uses two sealing lips. One spring is loaded tightly against the shaft to retain lubricants, and the other functions as a contaminant excluder.
• Double-wall case to reduce deformation of the case during installation and form a secure, stable base for optimum sealing-element performance.
• Exclusive Redi-Coat® coating that seals minor bore defects to help ensure a tight, leak-proof seal.
• Optional fluoro-elastomer sealing element (available in selected part numbers in addition to standard Nitrile seals) to provide high-temperature capabilities, good compatibility with a wide range of fluids and long life.

*Seal designs may vary. Not all features are used in all Zero Duplication seals
