The CR Oil Seal 2.496x3.672x0.500 Design X15 NBR is designed for rotary shaft applications requiring reliable retention of oil or compatible grease around an industrial shaft assembly.

Installed between a rotating shaft and stationary housing, the seal creates controlled radial contact with the shaft surface. This helps limit lubricant leakage while reducing the entry of dust, dirt, moisture, and abrasive particles into the bearing or transmission assembly.

The product is identified by the CR manufacturer designation Design X15. Because industrial seal design codes are specific to each manufacturer, the exact sealing-lip geometry, outside-case construction, spring arrangement, and installation direction should be compared with the original seal before replacement.

Manufactured from NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), the sealing element is generally compatible with:

Mineral oils

Gear oils

Hydraulic oils

Bearing grease

Petroleum-based lubricants

General industrial lubricating fluids

NBR provides good resistance to oils, wear, and abrasion under normal industrial operating conditions. Suitability should be confirmed before use with aggressive chemicals, high continuous temperatures, ozone-rich environments, or specialized synthetic lubricants.

The inch dimensions correspond approximately to:

Shaft diameter: 2.496 inches or 63.40 mm

Housing diameter: 3.672 inches or 93.27 mm

Seal width: 0.500 inch or 12.70 mm

The specific shaft and housing dimensions suggest that this seal may be intended for a dedicated OEM bearing housing, transmission, gearbox, or industrial machine assembly. Accurate dimensional measurement and Design X15 profile verification are essential before installation.
