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 GMC-TD004 , to
find Bulletin 2090 cables with environmentally sealed connectors for your motor.

IMPORTANT The shaft seal is not recommended 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. This can decrease the life of the shaft
seal.
