Gentlemen, My goal would be: A spring loaded lip seal at the bottom of the gearbox - above the spindle bearings. Size the seal or bearing surface for approximately 1/2 the recommended interference fit to minimize heat in the seal. If you are turning the head over then a seal at the top would be in order.
Kluber lube in the spindle bearings loaded at about a 10% (by volume inside the bearing) grease load. A labyrinth seal outside the spindle bearings. Will last forever Oil bath bearings in the bottom of a gearbox are bathed in ALL of the wear particles of the gear train - not a good situation. thanks Stuart On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 5:23 AM, John Thornton <bjt...@gmail.com> wrote: > The Hardinge CHNC turret uses those quad rings to seal the turret and > the housing. > > JT > > On 9/3/2013 11:33 PM, Gregg Eshelman wrote: > > On Tue, 9/3/13, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > I don't think there is room inside the bolt circle for any > > sort of lip > > seal though, and I am rather wary of Gene's idea of an > > O-ring, I can > > see it managing to pull out a bight and tie itself in a > > knot. > > > > -- > > > > There's o-ring cord, in various profiles.
