SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
National® Oil Seals, a trusted brand from DRiV™
for over 75 years, has launched an exclusive new
application-specific hand install Red 375 Series seal with Dynamic
Edge® technology for commercial vehicles.
Designed to simplify installation, National's hand installable
seals offer tool-free, on-the-fly installation that eliminates the
need to find the correct installation tool; and saves potential
damage to the seal through incorrect installation.
Originally introduced in 2011, National's Dynamic Edge
technology brought a new level of protection to commercial vehicle
wheel-end applications through its ability to deflect contaminants
from the wheel end components, eliminating leading causes of
premature seal and bearing failure. Its labyrinth design
slows contamination into the seal via the creation of a longer
pathway that makes it more difficult for dirt and other impurities
to infiltrate the seal. Unique design features make for easy
installation and rib technology maintains positive bore retention,
assuring the seal stays in place during the service life.
"For over 75 years, the National brand has developed a
reputation for engineering quality and developing dependable
products for virtually any type of wheel-end repair," said
Greg Upton, National product
manager. "The National hand install seal is another
innovation that will help fleets and operators minimize their
downtime through ease of installation, in addition to preventing
early seal failure due to
contamination."
Available for five popular applications, the 375 Series Dynamic
Edge hand installable seal is manufactured in the United States at our Van Wert, Ohio, facility.
