The AEROQUIP Oil Seal 4.031x5.506x0.625 M/L LEATHER is designed for rotary shaft applications requiring lubricant retention around a 4.031-inch shaft within a 5.506-inch housing bore.

This seal uses an industrial leather sealing element supported by a metal case or structural carrier. Properly conditioned and lubricated leather can conform to the shaft surface and accommodate minor shaft-surface irregularities, making this type of seal particularly useful in older gearboxes, transmissions, agricultural machinery, heavy equipment, and legacy industrial systems.

The M/L profile is manufacturer-specific. The exact leather-lip geometry, metal support arrangement, outside-case construction, lip orientation, and installation direction should be verified against the original AEROQUIP seal, technical drawing, or equipment specification before replacement.

Leather sealing elements should generally not operate dry. Adequate lubrication at the sealing interface is important to minimize friction, heat generation, hardening, glazing, and premature wear.

Typical compatible lubricant/service environments include:

• Mineral oils
• Gear oils
• Bearing oils
• Bearing grease
• Petroleum-based lubricants
• General industrial lubricated shaft service

The usable temperature and shaft-speed range depend on leather grade, lubricant type, shaft surface finish, shaft hardness, alignment, and actual operating conditions.

The inch dimensions convert approximately to:

Shaft diameter: 4.031 inches or approximately 102.39 mm

Housing diameter: 5.506 inches or approximately 139.85 mm

Seal width: 0.625 inch or approximately 15.88 mm

The 4.031 × 5.506 × 0.625-inch configuration is suitable for medium-to-large bearing housings, gearboxes, transmissions, industrial drives, agricultural machinery, and legacy equipment originally designed for a leather-type shaft seal.

Size: 4.031 × 5.506 × 0.625 inch

Metric Equivalent: Approximately 102.39 × 139.85 × 15.88 mm

Type: Industrial Leather Rotary Shaft Oil Seal

Material: Genuine Oil-Treated Industrial Leather

Profile: M/L

Construction: Manufacturer-Specific Metal-Supported Leather Shaft-Seal Construction

Lip Design: Leather sealing lip; verify exact M/L lip geometry and orientation against the original seal or technical drawing

Dust Lip: Not assumed; verify from the actual M/L construction

Spring Type: No spring unless the original seal specifically indicates one

Shaft Diameter (ID): 4.031 inches / approximately 102.39 mm

Housing Diameter (OD): 5.506 inches / approximately 139.85 mm

Suitable replacement or cross-reference candidate for compatible:

• AEROQUIP M/L Leather Shaft Seal
• AEROQUIP 4.031x5.506x0.625 Oil Seal
• 102.39x139.85x15.88 Leather Seal
• 4.031-Inch Shaft Leather Oil Seal
• Metal-Supported Leather Shaft Seal
• Industrial Leather Bearing Seal
• Gearbox Leather Oil Seal

The same dimensions alone do not guarantee interchangeability. The replacement must match the original M/L cross-section, leather-lip geometry, lip orientation, metal support arrangement, outside-case construction, installation direction, leather grade, lubricant requirements, and operating conditions.

(Always verify dimensions, M/L construction, leather-lip orientation, shaft finish, shaft hardness, housing condition, installation depth, lubricant compatibility, shaft speed, temperature, concentricity, runout, and operating conditions before ordering.)
