CORTECO 12001714 70x90x10/11 NBR BABSL Radial Shaft Seal

Technical specifications

Important: The complete dimensional designation 70x90x10/11 mm must be preserved.

The values 10/11 may represent different axial dimensions of the sealing profile. Their exact geometric interpretation requires a manufacturer drawing.

CORTECO 12001714 – catalogue identification

Available catalogue information distinguishes between CORTECO 12001714 and CORTECO 12001714B.

The CORTECO dimensional catalogue identifies 12001714 as an NBR radial shaft seal with a BABSL profile and dimensions of 70x90x10/11 mm.

Replacement-parts catalogues associate 12001714B with a BABSL1 profile, dimensions of 70x90x7/8 mm and Volvo OE reference 14211697.

These differences are significant for technical identification and replacement selection.

The Volvo OE reference 14211697 should not be assigned directly to CORTECO 12001714 70x90x10/11 mm without additional manufacturer confirmation.

What does CORTECO 12001714 70x90x10/11 NBR BABSL mean?

The designation identifies the brand, article number, nominal dimensions, material and sealing profile.

• CORTECO – manufacturer brand.

• 12001714 – product catalogue reference.

• 70 mm – nominal shaft diameter.

• 90 mm – nominal housing bore diameter.

• 10/11 mm – manufacturer dimensional width designation.

• NBR – nitrile butadiene rubber.

• BABSL – radial shaft sealing profile identified in the dimensional catalogue.

The complete designation should be retained when checking compatibility with an existing sealing arrangement.

BABSL construction and sealing principle

The BABSL profile belongs to a family of radial shaft seals used to seal rotating shafts.

A radial shaft seal generally provides a sealing interface between the rotating shaft surface and the stationary housing.

Depending on the exact construction, radial shaft seals may include:

• A primary elastomeric sealing lip.

• A reinforcing element providing dimensional stability.

• An outer surface designed to seal against the housing bore.

• A garter spring supporting the primary sealing lip.

• An additional protective lip.

For the exact CORTECO 12001714 variant, the detailed lip geometry, spring arrangement and additional dust lip configuration should be confirmed against manufacturer documentation.

The construction details of CORTECO 12001714B must not automatically be transferred to CORTECO 12001714.

Sealing performance depends on the profile geometry, shaft surface condition, lubrication and operating parameters.

NBR material properties

NBR is a synthetic elastomer manufactured from acrylonitrile and butadiene.

It is widely used in radial shaft seals because of its compatibility with many mineral oil-based lubricants.

Typical characteristics of appropriately selected NBR compounds include:

• Good resistance to many mineral oils.

• Compatibility with numerous industrial lubricating greases.

• Suitability for many mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids.

• Good mechanical properties under appropriate operating conditions.

• Compound-dependent abrasion resistance.

NBR generally has limited resistance to ozone, prolonged ultraviolet exposure and certain aggressive chemical substances.

The exact operating temperature range depends on the elastomer compound used by the manufacturer.

Compatibility with a particular oil, lubricant or chemical medium must be verified for the intended application.

CORTECO 12001714 compared with 12001714B

The distinction between these references is particularly important.

Despite sharing the same nominal shaft and housing diameters, these variants should not be treated as identical.

Differences in axial dimensions and sealing profiles may affect installation depth, lip position and operating performance.

Selection and interchangeability

Before selecting CORTECO 12001714, verify:

1. Manufacturer reference 12001714.

2. Nominal shaft diameter – 70 mm.

3. Nominal housing bore diameter – 90 mm.

4. Complete width designation – 10/11 mm.

5. Required BABSL sealing profile.

6. Compatibility of NBR with the operating medium.

7. Operating temperature.

8. Shaft peripheral speed.

9. Pressure in the sealed chamber.

10. Shaft surface hardness and roughness.

11. Shaft runout and alignment.

12. Housing bore tolerances and installation conditions.

A seal designated 70x90x10 mm should not automatically be substituted for a 70x90x10/11 mm variant.

Similarly, CORTECO 12001714 and 12001714B require separate technical verification.

For Volvo Trucks applications, the OE reference should be checked against the vehicle documentation and, where applicable, the vehicle identification number (VIN).

Typical applications

Radial shaft seals of this type may be used in appropriately designed:

• Industrial gearboxes.

• Mechanical transmission assemblies.

• Bearing housings.

• Rotating shaft systems.

• Industrial drive equipment.

• Mechanical assemblies requiring lubricant retention.

These are potential applications based on the general function of radial shaft seals.

The Volvo 14211697 reference is associated with CORTECO 12001714B in replacement-parts catalogues. This does not establish confirmed fitment of CORTECO 12001714 70x90x10/11 mm to a specific Volvo vehicle.

Alternative designations and search references

Common descriptive representations include:

• CORTECO 12001714

• CORTECO 12001714 70x90x10/11

• CORTECO 12001714 NBR BABSL

• CORTECO Radial Shaft Seal 70x90x10/11

• CORTECO Oil Seal 70x90x10/11 NBR

• Radial Shaft Seal 70x90x10/11 BABSL

• Rotary Shaft Seal 70x90x10/11 NBR

• NBR Oil Seal 70x90x10/11

These are descriptive search variants rather than independently verified OEM cross-references.

CORTECO 12001714B BABSL1 / Volvo 14211697 should be treated as a separate product reference requiring independent identification.

Installation and operating recommendations

Before installation, clean the housing bore and inspect the shaft surface.

Check for scratches, corrosion, burrs and excessive wear that could damage the sealing lip.

Install the seal evenly using suitable mounting tools.

Avoid applying installation force directly to the sealing lip.

The correct installation direction must be determined from the actual sealing profile and application requirements.

Before operation, ensure appropriate lubrication of the contact area between the sealing lip and shaft.

Incorrect installation, excessive shaft runout, unsuitable surface roughness or inadequate lubrication may cause premature wear and leakage.
