Stainless Steel Springs Are Standard on all Clipper Oil
Seals where the industry standard is a lower quality carbon
steel. Clipper’s spring material provides improved lip loading
at higher temperatures and resists the rust and corrosion
that is common with lower quality materials. The upgraded
spring ensures consistent lip loading over the life of the seal.

Common Materials Used in OD and Lip Materials

this Product
Clipper Oil Seals are available in a H1L5 & H1L7 — Nitrile (NBR)
wide range of materials. The following Standard Nitrile is the most commonly used polymer in the
general material descriptions are for rotary shaft seal industry. NBR has very good resistance to
the OD material “H” and corresponding oil, fuel and alkali solutions. Nitrile offers excellent resistance
lip material “L”. to petroleum-based hydraulic fluids and is resistant to
hydrocarbon solvents. Standard Nitrile has poor resistance to
ozone, ketones, automotive or aircraft brake fluid, and steam
or hot water. Standard Nitrile is recommended for operating in
temperatures ranging from -20 to +250 °F (-29 to +121 °C)
and offers good mechanical properties and abrasion
resistance.
5
H1L50 & H1L70 — Low Temp Nitrile (NBR)
Nitrile compounds can be formulated for applications in
extreme cold weather environments. These special
formulations of Nitrile allow for operation at minimum
temperatures ranging down to -70 °F (-57 °C), while
maintaining good chemical and abrasion resistance, but the
upper temperature limit is lowered to 212 °F (100 °C).

H1L20 — Carboxylated Nitrile (XNBR)

XNBR is formulated to greatly enhance tear and abrasion
resistance over standard Nitrile, while maintaining similar
chemical compatibility. It is used in applications where
abrasive materials may collect at the point of shaft contact.
XNBR is less resilient and flexible at low temperature, and
offers poorer compression set resistance than standard
Nitrile. Carboxylated Nitriles are recommended for operation
at temperatures ranging from -30 to +250 °F (-34 to +121°C).

H1L30 — Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR)

Hydrogenated Nitriles offer improved abrasion resistance,
excellent chemical resistance and higher operating
temperatures than standard NBR. Ozone and weather
resistance, as well as resistance to hot water are also
increased. HNBR compounds are recommended for
operating temperatures ranging from -40 to +300 °F (-40 to
+149 °C).

LUPW, LPDW, LDSW Profiles Catalog EPS 5350/USA

LUPW, LPDW and LDSW Profiles

LUPW/LPDW — Spring-loaded single lip. Features
nonmetallic composite OD for damage-free installation.
LDSW — Specialized double lip features nonmetallic
composite OD for damage-free installation. Primary lip features
molded-in springs for lubrication retention. Springless secondary
lip for excluding light dust. Floating lip accommodates high
misalignment conditions.

Application
Most commonly used for oil or grease retention where
high shaft misalignment is present. LUPW and LPDW
accommodate misalignment by use of extended lip profile 5
and may require a wider than normal bore depth to avoid
interference of the lip.
Type LDSW accommodates misalignment using a
geometry that allows the lip to float with the shaft.

installing a solid seal in a failed application can be
5 costly and time consuming. In such cases, Split
Clipper Oil Seals can be used to minimize
unscheduled downtime, specifically where
equipment cannot be uncoupled. These seals will
provide long and efficient service until major or
scheduled machine overhaul permits convenient
installation of a regular non-split seal.
Split Clipper Oil Seals are available in Series R,
RPD and RUP profiles, depending upon shaft
diameter (see Page 5-27). They are widely
used as replacement seals because they provide
superior bearing protection and embody a unique
principle of design. The tough, dense outer case
and a soft, flexible lip are concentrically molded
as a single unit. The seal’s nonmetallic outer case
forms a leak-free, press fit in the housing,
conforming to minor surface irregularities.
Split Clipper seals provide excellent retention
of grease and light oil splash. Some weepage in oil
splash applications may occur.

Converting to Split Clipper Oil Seals
Retrofitting Existing Equipment
To convert existing equipment from solid oil
seals to Split Clipper Oil Seals, the following
procedure should be followed:
1. Establish the nominal shaft diameter bore
diameter and housing depth of existing seal or
equipment. The original equipment drawings are
most helpful. Note that no backup plate is required
with Split Clipper Oil Seals.
2. Refer to engineering and design data and
the size listings. Determine equipment operating
conditions for shaft speed, runout, temperature,
etc., to verify they are within recommended
application limits.
