FORTiS™ enclosed encoder seal wear testing (mp4)

DuraSeal™ lip seals have been wear tested for 14 million cycles with fine iron swarf and carbide grit mixed in grease. The tough DuraSeal material provides a long lasting and dependable seal around the readhead blade which protects the encoder optics from contamination. Air loss through the encoder is therefore reduced by 70% when compared to industry standard seals, resulting in greater system longevity.
