Quality That Lasts
At Mid Coast Bearing Centre, our mission is to make sourcing seals simple and stress-free for Kempsey locals. We supply sealing solutions for rotating shafts, hydraulic cylinders, static joints, and everything in between.
If you’re unsure which type of seal is best, we’ll guide you through the options based on temperature, fluid type, shaft speed, and pressure. We stock both metric and imperial sizes, as well as a range of materials such as nitrile, Viton, and PTFE to suit different working environments.
Many of our customers bring in worn seals from tractors, pumps, or motors so we can identify and supply the correct match. Our team goes beyond the sale—we’ll also share tips on installation, lubrication, and how to avoid common causes of premature seal failure.
With reliable brands, fast access to stock, and personalised service, we make it easy to keep your systems leak-free and running efficiently in Kempsey.
How do I know what type of seal I need for my application?
Choosing the right seal depends on a few key factors: whether the application is static or dynamic, the operating pressure and temperature, the type of fluid involved (like oil, water, or chemical), and the speed of any rotating shafts. For rotating parts like axles or pumps, oil seals or radial shaft seals are most common. For hydraulic systems, piston or rod seals may be required. The material also matters—nitrile is great for oil resistance, while Viton handles higher temperatures and chemicals. If you’re unsure, bring in the old seal or share measurements and usage details so a supplier can help you find the correct fit.
What is the difference between a single-lip and double-lip seal?
A single-lip seal has one sealing lip that typically retains fluid within a system, like oil or grease. A double-lip seal has an additional lip—often called a dust or exclusion lip—that helps keep out contaminants like dirt, dust, or water. This makes double-lip seals ideal for outdoor or harsh environments, such as agricultural or construction equipment. The added protection helps extend the life of both the seal and the component it protects. However, double-lip seals may require slightly more space and lubrication. The choice depends on the operating environment and whether contamination is a concern.
Can I reuse a seal after disassembly?
Generally, seals are not reusable. Even if they appear undamaged, once a seal has been compressed and exposed to pressure, heat, or friction, its ability to provide a tight, reliable barrier is compromised. Removal can also damage the sealing lip or deform the body. Reusing a seal increases the risk of leaks and premature failure, especially in high-performance or high-pressure systems. To avoid equipment damage or downtime, it’s always best to replace seals with new, correctly sized parts during maintenance or repairs.
