About Shaft Seals
A shaft seal is recommended if the motor shaft and end bell are exposed to significant amounts of
containments, such as oil, fluids, or fine dust. Use a shaft seal in these environments to prolong
the life of the motor. A shaft seal and Bulletin 2090 cables with environmentally sealed
connectors are required for an IP66 rating or greater.
See Kinetix Motion Accessories Specifications Technical Data, publication KNX-TD004, to
find Bulletin 2090 cables with environmentally sealed connectors for your motor.
Required Tools
Use these tools to install a shaft seal:
• Appropriately sized screw or bolt to grip and remove the worn shaft seal
• Rubber/wooden mallet or a metal hammer and wooden work piece
• Socket, pipe, or tubing (various sizes)
• Abrasive cloth to remove any nicks or burrs from the motor shaft
IMPORTANT The shaft seal is not required in applications where the motor shaft and end bell are free of oil,
fluids, or fine dust, and a lower IP rating is sufficient.
Shaft seals are subject to wear and require periodic inspection and replacement. Replacement
is recommended every 3 months, not to exceed 12 months, depending on use.
If you paint the motor, do not get paint on the shaft seal area or the shaft, as this can decrease
the life of the shaft seal.

Remove the Shaft Seal
The shaft seal can be safely removed by partially inserting an appropriately sized screw or bolt
into the face of the shaft seal. The head of the screw or bolt provides a convenient point to grasp
and remove the shaft seal.
Before installing the screw, create a pilot hole appropriate for the screw being used. Use masking
tape or a depth sleeve to establish a drilling depth limit of 4 mm (0.16 in.) from the tip of the drill
bit.
Follow these steps to remove the shaft seal.
1. Remove power to the motor before removing the shaft seal.
2. Drill a pilot hole in the face of the shaft seal less than the depth limit specified above.
Make sure the drill does not come in contact with the shaft seal bore.
3. Thread your screw or bolt into the pilot hole.
4. Lift the shaft seal from the motor by grasping the screw head and slightly rotating the
seal while pulling.
5. Inspect and clean the shaft and sealing surfaces as necessary.
Use an abrasive cloth to remove any nicks or burrs from the motor shaft.
ATTENTION: To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, remove power from the motor before
removing the shaft seal.
ATTENTION: Do not drill into the shaft seal deeper than 4 mm (0.16 in.).
Drilling and inserting a screw completely through the shaft seal can damage the motor bearings,
and require factory service to repair the motor.
IMPORTANT Cover the sharp edges of the keyway with tape to protect the shaft seal lip from
damage.

Replace the Shaft Seal
Follow these steps to replace the shaft seal.
1. Apply tape to the keyway opening so the edges do not damage the seal lip.
2. Lubricate the motor shaft and the inner lip of the shaft seal with lubricant that is
supplied in the kit.
3. Center the shaft seal on the mounting surface of the motor and slide the shaft seal evenly
onto the motor shaft.
See Shaft Seal Installation Clearances on page 5 for the correct installation clearance of
the shaft seal you are installing.
4. Press the shaft seal into the seal bore by applying one of the Shaft Seal Installation
Methods on page 6.
5. Visually inspect for irregularities in the shaft seal or an uneven alignment where the shaft
seal contacts the motor.
Verify that the outer and inner circumference of the shaft seal is fully seated into
position.
6. Verify that the shaft seal is installed to the correct installation clearance.
• If the shaft seal is installed too deep, it can become subject to excessive wear and
require frequent replacement.
• If the shaft seal is installed too shallow, it can reduce the effectiveness of the
protective seal.
IMPORTANT Shaft seals require a lubricant to reduce wear. The lubricant is supplied with the
shaft seal kits. Lubricate only the inner lip of the shaft seal. Do not lubricate the
motor bore or outside diameter of the seal.

ATTENTION: Do not hammer directly on the shaft seal. Gently tap the socket, pipe, or tubing
evenly around the outer edge of the shaft seal until the shaft seal is pressed into place. Make sure
the socket, pipe, or tubing you use does not contact the shaft seal lip. Permanent damage to the
shaft seal can occur.
IMPORTANT Third-party shaft seals are not approved for use with these motors. The use of third-party shaft
seals voids any implied or expressed warranties.
