MicroTorq Shaft Dynamic Seals

The unique MicroTorq® seal design was developed to provide fuel savings and can reduce friction by up to 80 percent when compared with conventional lip-type seals. Additionally, the seals provide an improvement in fuel economy of up to 0.49 percent and a reduction in CO2 emissions of 1-2 gkm compared to traditional seal designs.
