Overview
The SKF LOR102 is a multi-stage labyrinth bearing seal that protects mounted bearing housings from dirt, dust, and moisture while maintaining minimal rotational resistance. Constructed from aluminum and featuring a built-in O-ring, this seal rotates with the shaft to create an effective sealing barrier. The LOR102 is part of SKF’s PosiTrac sealing system and is commonly used in industrial equipment requiring reliable bearing protection without maintenance demands.
