CORTECO 01036481 ACM B1BASLSFDRW 39.9x62x8/13 mm is a radial shaft oil seal from the Simmerring family, used as a driveshaft/axle shaft seal in specified Ford transmission applications. It is manufactured from ACM polyacrylate rubber and has a 39.9 mm inside diameter, 62 mm outside diameter and 8/13 mm height. The construction incorporates an additional dust lip. Confirmed Ford references include 1493248 and 7M5R3K169AA.

Technical data - CORTECO 01036481

What does CORTECO 01036481 ACM B1BASLSFDRW mean?

The complete product identification is:

CORTECO 01036481 ACM B1BASLSFDRW 39.9x62x8/13 mm

Each element is important for precise identification.

CORTECO - manufacturer of the seal.

01036481 - specific CORTECO catalogue number.

01036481B - reference format also encountered in aftermarket catalogue systems.

ACM - polyacrylate rubber used as the sealing elastomer.

B1BASLSFDRW - construction designation for this specific radial shaft seal version.

39.9x62x8/13 mm - complete dimensional specification.

For accurate identification, this product should not be simplified to a generic 40x62 mm oil seal.

Dimensions of CORTECO 01036481

The correct dimensional specification is:

39.9x62x8/13 mm

where:

• d = 39.9 mm - inside diameter
• D = 62 mm - outside diameter
• B1 = 8 mm - first height
• B2 = 13 mm - second height

Some catalogue systems may round the inside diameter to:

40 mm

However, for precise technical identification, the correct 39.9 mm dimension should be retained.

The complete dimension should therefore be written as:

39.9x62x8/13 mm

ACM - Polyacrylate Rubber

CORTECO 01036481 is manufactured from:

ACM - Polyacrylate Rubber

ACM elastomers are used in sealing systems for transmissions and drivetrains where the material must operate with the specified lubricant and under the operating conditions of the particular assembly.

When evaluating this seal for a specific application, consider:

• transmission oil type
• operating temperature
• shaft surface speed
• lubrication conditions
• transmission design
• shaft sealing surface condition
• installation position
• vehicle manufacturer requirements

An exact universal operating temperature range is intentionally not stated for CORTECO 01036481 without confirmed data for the specific ACM compound.

B1BASLSFDRW construction

The complete construction designation is:

B1BASLSFDRW

This code is an important part of the technical identity of CORTECO 01036481 and should be considered when selecting an alternative.

Catalogue data for this product identifies:

• ACM material
• 39.9x62x8/13 mm dimensions
• additional dust lip
• variable sealing structure
• driveshaft / drive axle installation

For this reason, a standard 40x62 mm Simmerring should not automatically be considered a replacement for CORTECO 01036481.

Additional dust lip

CORTECO 01036481 incorporates an:

additional dust lip

The supplementary lip helps protect the primary sealing area against contamination from the external environment.

This is particularly relevant around the connection between the driveshaft/axle shaft and transmission, where the seal may be exposed to:

• dust
• dirt
• water
• mud
• road contamination
• other external debris

The additional protective lip should therefore be considered when evaluating an alternative seal.

Variable sealing structure

Catalogue data for CORTECO 01036481 describes the sealing characteristic as:

variable twist

This is an additional construction feature of the functional sealing area.

It should not automatically be interpreted as a conventional one-direction-only right-hand or left-hand radial shaft seal.

When selecting a replacement, the construction specified for CORTECO 01036481 should be retained rather than assuming equivalence based only on dimensions.

Ford MPS6 PowerShift driveshaft seal

CORTECO 01036481 is catalogued for specified Ford applications using the:

6DCT450 / MPS6 PowerShift transmission

The seal is installed where the axle shaft/driveshaft passes through the transmission housing.

Its functions include:

• retaining the specified transmission lubricant
• sealing around the rotating axle shaft
• reducing transmission oil leakage
• helping protect the sealing area against external contamination

Compatibility must always be confirmed for the exact vehicle and transmission version using the Ford OE reference.

CORTECO 01036481 vs Ford 1493248

One of the principal Ford OE references for this product is:

FORD 1493248

This number is associated with an axle shaft seal specified with:

39.9x62x8/13 mm

dimensions and the Ford engineering reference:

7M5R3K169AA

CORTECO 01036481 can therefore be identified using either the CORTECO catalogue number or the corresponding Ford OE reference.

CORTECO 01036481 vs Ford 7M5R3K169AA

The Ford engineering number:

7M5R3K169AA

is associated with:

Ford 1493248

and:

CORTECO 01036481

The number may also be written with separators as:

7M5R-3K169-AA

Both formats are useful when searching technical and spare-parts catalogues.

CORTECO 01036481 vs Volvo 31256727

Cross-reference catalogue data also associates CORTECO 01036481 with:

VOLVO 31256727

This OE reference can be useful when identifying the seal for specified Volvo applications.

It should not be interpreted as compatibility with every Volvo vehicle. The OE number, transmission version and exact vehicle application should be verified before installation.

Ford applications

Application data associates Ford 1493248 / 7M5R-3K169-AA with specified versions within model families including:

• Ford Focus
• Ford C-Max
• Ford Grand C-Max
• Ford Kuga
• Ford Mondeo
• Ford S-Max
• Ford Galaxy
• Ford Edge
• Ford Transit Connect
• Ford Tourneo Connect

This does not mean that CORTECO 01036481 fits every engine, model year or transmission version within these vehicle families.

The essential identification combination is:

OE reference + transmission type + exact vehicle specification

For PowerShift applications, confirming the exact transmission type is particularly important.

Installation position

Catalogue information associates CORTECO 01036481 with the:

drive axle / axle shaft

In front-wheel-drive Ford applications, OE 1493248 can be used at the transmission output in specified configurations.

For other drivetrain configurations, application and installation side may differ.

For this reason, the OE reference should be checked using the vehicle's parts catalogue or VIN before ordering.

CORTECO 01036481 vs other 40x62 oil seals

Not every seal described as:

40x62 mm

is interchangeable with CORTECO 01036481.

For this product, compare:

• exact 39.9 mm inside diameter
• 62 mm outside diameter
• 8/13 mm height
• ACM material
• B1BASLSFDRW construction
• additional dust lip
• sealing structure
• OE reference
• installation position
• transmission type

Matching shaft and housing diameters alone do not establish full technical interchangeability.

The 8/13 mm compound height and specific construction are particularly important.

How to select CORTECO 01036481 correctly

The safest method is identification by:

CORTECO 01036481

or:

FORD 1493248

FORD 7M5R3K169AA

For applicable Volvo installations, also check:

VOLVO 31256727

Then verify:

• ACM material
• B1BASLSFDRW construction
• 39.9x62x8/13 mm dimensions
• additional dust lip
• transmission type
• exact installation position

Selection based only on measuring the old seal should be used when a reliable CORTECO or OE reference cannot be identified.

Selection and interchangeability checklist

Before purchasing CORTECO 01036481, verify:

• CORTECO 01036481 / 01036481B
• Ford 1493248
• Ford 7M5R3K169AA
• Volvo 31256727 where applicable
• ACM material
• B1BASLSFDRW construction
• 39.9 mm inside diameter
• 62 mm outside diameter
• 8/13 mm height
• additional dust lip
• transmission type
• installation position

For vehicle applications, confirmation by VIN and the manufacturer's parts catalogue is recommended.

Installation of CORTECO 01036481

Before installation, thoroughly clean the axle shaft and seal housing.

Inspect the sealing surface for:

• scratches
• corrosion
• burrs
• sharp edges
• wear grooves
• mechanical damage

Protect both the primary sealing lip and additional dust lip during installation.

The seal should be installed evenly and squarely using an appropriate fitting tool.

The axle shaft sealing surface and transmission components should also be checked for excessive play or wear before installing the new seal.

Why can an axle shaft seal still leak after replacement?

A new seal does not always eliminate the underlying cause of leakage.

Also inspect:

• axle shaft sealing surface
• wear groove
• shaft runout
• transmission bearing condition
• excessive radial movement
• seal housing
• installation depth
• lubricant level and specification

A damaged sealing surface or excessive shaft movement can result in leakage even when the correct CORTECO 01036481 is installed.
