Product Information
Full details
This Elring radial shaft seal is designed for automotive applications, specifically for sealing rotating shafts to prevent lubricant leakage and contaminant ingress. It offers a reliable solution for maintaining engine and transmission integrity, though its specific material (MVQ silicone rubber) may have temperature limitations compared to other materials. Key features include its B-design with a right-hand twist swirl, a 40mm inner diameter, 56mm outer diameter, and 7mm height, making it suitable for a range of vehicle models from Fiat, Seat, Lada, and others.

FAQs
What does 'Radial Shaft Seal Design B' mean?
Design B typically refers to a specific type of radial shaft seal construction, often indicating a rubber-covered outer diameter and a specific lip design for effective sealing against rotating shafts.
Is MVQ silicone rubber suitable for high temperatures?
MVQ silicone rubber generally offers good temperature resistance, typically ranging from -50°C to +200°C, but continuous operation at the higher end may reduce its lifespan. Always check specific application temperature ranges.
What is the purpose of the 'Swirl Type: Right-hand Twist'?
This refers to a helical rib or pattern on the sealing lip designed to help retain lubricant within the sealed area when the shaft rotates in a right-hand (clockwise) direction, reducing leakage and improving sealing performance.
Why doesn't this seal have a dust lip?
Seals without a dust lip are intended for applications where external dust and contaminants are not a significant threat, or where other sealing measures are in place. They offer slightly less friction than seals with a dust lip.
How do I find the correct Elring seal for my vehicle?
Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic. You can also use online parts catalogs or the manufacturer's website, searching by your vehicle's details and cross-referencing part numbers.
Can I reuse an old seal if it looks okay?
No, radial shaft seals should always be replaced with new ones during maintenance. They are designed for single-use and deform during installation and operation. Reusing an old seal will likely lead to leaks.
What are the main functions of a radial shaft seal?
The primary functions are to prevent lubricant (like oil or grease) from escaping from a machine or vehicle component and to prevent external contaminants (like dirt or water) from entering.
Troubleshooting
Seal leaks lubricant shortly after installation.
Ensure the seal was installed squarely and not damaged during fitting. Check that the shaft surface is smooth and free from nicks or scoring. Verify the correct seal was used for the application and that the housing is clean.
Seal fails prematurely.
Check operating temperatures; MVQ silicone rubber may not be suitable for extreme heat applications. Inspect for abrasive contaminants in the lubricant or environment. Ensure the shaft is not experiencing excessive runout or vibration.
Difficulty installing the seal without damage.
Use an appropriate seal driver tool to press the seal in evenly. Lightly lubricate the seal lip and the housing bore with a compatible lubricant. Ensure no burrs or imperfections exist on the shaft or housing edge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Precise fit due to specific dimensions (40x56x7mm).
Durable MVQ silicone rubber material for good flexibility.
Designed for effective sealing of rotating shafts.
Wide compatibility across many European and Russian vehicle brands.
Right-hand swirl design can assist with lubricant management.
Cons
May have temperature limitations compared to high-performance materials.
Lack of dust lip makes it less suitable for extremely dusty environments without additional protection.
Specific design requires careful installation to ensure proper function.
Not a universal part; requires verification for specific vehicle models and shaft types.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before installation, always verify that this Elring seal (MPN: 059.790 101007, 60502891, 60503646) is listed as compatible with your specific vehicle's make, model, year, and engine/transmission configuration. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a parts catalog for confirmation.
Installation: Installation requires careful attention. The seal should be fitted onto a clean shaft and into a clean housing. Ensure the seal is seated squarely and not at an angle. Lubricate the sealing lip lightly with a compatible grease before installation to prevent damage and ensure proper initial sealing. Avoid using excessive force, which can damage the seal.
Care: This seal is designed for minimal maintenance once installed. Regular vehicle inspections should include checking for any signs of lubricant leakage around the sealed area. If leakage is detected, the seal may need replacement. Cleanliness is paramount during installation; avoid introducing dirt or debris to the sealing surfaces.
