Designed to be user-friendly, CR Seals and product listings convey a good deal of information on every line. As you familiarize yourself with the tables, keep these need-to-know basics in mind: All size listings for all CR Seals products are arranged by ascending shaft diameters, segregated as inch sizes (green bars) and metric sizes (blue bars). All bore and width sizes listed under the green bars are in inches, while all sizes listed under blue bars are in mm.Once you have selected the right shaft size, you will need to identify the seals with a matching bore size. The recommended tolerance ranges for shaft and bore can be found on pages 46-49. While it is important to choose a seal with a close match to shaft and bore, it is less important to choose a seal with a predetermined width. As long as the seal is short enough not to protrude out of the bore, it will work just ine. Preferred designs Highlighted in bold in the “Part Number” and “Seal Type” columns, preferred seal design listings represent the highest performing or otherwise best suited sealing solution for a given shaft diameter.
