Main Description

The CORTECO 01019970 NBR BABSL2.4X6 35x50x8 oil seal is a professional technical sealing component developed for reliable operation in automotive steering systems. Designed as a rotary shaft seal with dust protection, it effectively prevents oil leakage while shielding the sealing zone from external contaminants that may accelerate wear.

Manufactured from high-quality NBR rubber, the seal provides good resistance to mineral oils, greases, and typical operating media used in steering gearboxes. Its precise dimensions of 35x50x8 mm allow accurate installation and stable seating in the housing, which is essential for maintaining long-term sealing performance.

The BABSL2.4X6 profile combines a main sealing lip with an auxiliary dust lip, improving durability and supporting consistent operation under variable steering loads. This design helps reduce maintenance frequency and protects adjacent components from premature failure.

This oil seal is widely used as an OEM-equivalent replacement for MERCEDES-BENZ steering systems, making it a practical choice for service workshops, fleet maintenance, and B2B procurement. Its consistent quality and predictable performance make it suitable for both routine repairs and professional technical applications.
