Marine propulsion

Walkersele^®

Walkersele is our well-proven family of radial lip seals for rotating shafts.
Our Walkersele® D6, Walkersele® D7 and Walkersele® D8 variants are used in all types of marine propulsion systems including bearings, gearboxes and associated equipment.

In most applications the main role of a Walkersele is to retain lubricant within a bearing assembly. It will effectively;

• Extend bearing life and improve reliability
• Cut maintenance costs and downtime
• Reduce lubricant loss and costs
• Cut power consumption with low friction running
• Reduce corrosion caused by dissimilar metal interfaces
• Minimise the risk of contravening strict IMO pollution regulations

In addition, in marine duties, a Walkersele is also required to prevent the external environment, be it fresh or seawater, from entering the equipment and causing damage.

Walkersele^® OSJ-2

The key to the popularity of our Walkersele® OSJ-2 system is that it allows seal replacement without the need for disassembly. This saves time and in many instances can be done at sea, with no need to dock for specialist
services or equipment.

The resulting seal is no short-term, ‘get you home’ fix, but a permanent seal with the same performance levels and continuity as the original endless version fitted by OEMs.

• Simple, rapid fitting – no specialised skills required
• Cuts fitting costs and downtime; above water applications can be completed at sea
• Fully moulded endless-seal performance with

Walkersele^® shaft sleeves

Our sleeves will protect your shaft from wear and present the optimum running surface for Walkersele radial lip seals. We can provide them in either endless or split form precision manufactured in corrosion-resistant steel or non-ferrous alloys, to suit the operating conditions, and supplied with hard surface layers when required. Our split-type sleeves feature a taperwedge location and locking system that ensures perfect alignment of the split
halves.
