James Walker Group - Rotary Seals

Every item of rotating plant and equipment - from a lawn sprinkler to a hot steel rolling mill or hydroelectric power scheme - relies on rotary sealing systems to keep it working efficiently.

The four main points to consider are:

Bearing protection
Lubricant retenion
Exclusion of contaminants
Minimising the leakage of fluid media.

James Walker caters for these needs at every industrial level with three complete families of seals, and a patented installation technique that avoids costly dismantling.
