Application-Specific Idler Seals

SpinGuard® Seal Technology

Superior’s patented next-generation SpinGuard Idler Seals offer greater protection in applications known to expose idler bearings to fugitive material prematurely.

Application-specific seal configurations have 5+ years of trial and error testing in lab and field settings. Production lead times for idlers outfitted with these special seals are competitive to idlers with traditional seals.

Extend Conveyor Idler Life

Even in Extreme Operating Conditions

When Superior initially developed its new Titanium Seals, they were tested at this plant, and after a six-month period, the operation switched to the new idler seals going forward.

conveying idlers

idler-seal-1-Wet-in-application-396x1024

Wet

APPLICATIONS:

Wash or dredge processes.
Frequent washdowns.

BENEFITS:

Special double contact seal defends bearing from moisture penetration.

idler-seal-2-Dry-in-application-396x1024

DRY

BENEFITS:

Oiled and contact seals protect bearing from dry particles and grit.

idler-seal-3-Eco-in-application-396x1024

ECO

APPLICATIONS:

Overland or long distance material handling sites.

BENEFITS:

Seal reduces drag and roll resistance for less horsepower at startup /operation.

idler-seal-4-Titanium-in-application-396x1024

TITANIUM™

APPLICATIONS:

Washed sand, fines removal or dredging. Most extreme conditions.

BENEFITS:

Combination of design characteristics from wet and dry seals for ultimate bearing protection
