Chesterton - General Bearing Seal (GBS)

Chesterton`s General Bearing Seal includes positive-contacting face seals that minimize atmospheric contaminants from migrating into the housing area. The use of simple lip seals in process pump applications typically creates a vicious cycle of unnecessary downtime as lip seals groove the shaft, progressively losing their compressive seal as well as damaging the shaft.  Chesterton`s General Bearing Seal (GBS) eliminates grooving on the shaft, improves MTBM, and increases the overall reliability of the gearbox.
