17x35x10 TC VMQ Silicone Oil Seal - Double Lip

17x35x10 TC VMQ Silicone Oil Seal - Double Lip

The 17x35x10 TC VMQ is a double-lip rotary shaft oil seal manufactured from silicone rubber (VMQ). The TC design combines a primary sealing lip with an additional dust lip. The seal is designed for a 17 mm shaft and 35 mm housing bore, with an overall width of 10 mm.

Technical Data

17x35x10 mm Dimensions

The designation 17x35x10 defines the three principal dimensions of the oil seal:

• shaft diameter: 17 mm

• housing bore diameter: 35 mm

• width: 10 mm

Complete technical identification:

17x35x10 TC VMQ

When selecting a replacement, the dimensions, elastomer and seal design should all be verified.

VMQ Silicone Rubber

The 17x35x10 TC oil seal is manufactured from VMQ silicone rubber.

VMQ is an elastomer particularly valued for maintaining flexibility over a wide temperature range, including at low temperatures. Silicone rubber is therefore used in sealing applications where its temperature characteristics are an important selection criterion.

Compatibility should always be checked against the actual:

• operating medium

• operating temperature

• shaft speed

• pressure

• shaft surface condition

• operating environment

TC - Double-Lip Oil Seal Design

The TC design is a widely recognized designation for a double-lip rotary shaft seal.

The construction incorporates:

• a primary sealing lip

• an additional dust lip

The primary lip provides the main sealing function around the rotating shaft.

The secondary lip helps protect the primary sealing area against dust, dirt and other external contaminants.

This is why the product is commonly described as:

17x35x10 TC VMQ Double-Lip Oil Seal

Silicone Oil Seal 17x35x10

The VMQ material differentiates this product from standard NBR oil seals of the same dimensions.

A 17x35x10 VMQ silicone oil seal and a 17x35x10 NBR oil seal should not automatically be considered interchangeable.

Although their dimensions may be identical, the elastomers have different physical and chemical properties.

The correct material should therefore be selected according to the operating conditions.

VMQ vs NBR Oil Seal

VMQ

VMQ is silicone rubber. Its important characteristics include flexibility over a wide temperature range and particularly good low-temperature properties.

NBR

NBR is nitrile rubber and is one of the most commonly used materials for rotary shaft seals, particularly in applications involving many mineral oils and greases.

The choice between VMQ and NBR should therefore be based on the application rather than dimensions alone.

How to Select a 17x35x10 TC Oil Seal

Before selecting the seal, verify:

1. Shaft diameter 17 mm.

2. Housing bore diameter 35 mm.

3. Width 10 mm.

4. VMQ silicone material.

5. TC double-lip design.

6. Presence of the additional dust lip.

7. Operating medium.

8. Operating temperature.

9. Shaft speed.

10. Actual operating conditions.

Matching the 17x35x10 mm dimensions alone is not sufficient to confirm interchangeability.

Applications

The 17x35x10 TC VMQ silicone oil seal can be used in appropriately designed rotating-shaft sealing arrangements requiring both a primary sealing lip and an additional dust lip.

Suitability for a particular machine or assembly depends on the operating medium, temperature, shaft speed, pressure, shaft condition and overall sealing arrangement.

Installation

Before installation:

• clean the shaft and housing bore thoroughly

• inspect the shaft sealing surface

• remove dirt, corrosion and burrs

• protect the sealing lips from sharp edges

• use an appropriate installation tool

• press the seal evenly into the housing

• avoid deformation of the seal body

• verify the correct installation orientation

Damage to the primary sealing lip during installation can cause leakage even when the seal itself is new.

FAQ

What are the dimensions of the 17x35x10 TC VMQ oil seal?

The seal has a 17 mm shaft diameter, 35 mm housing bore diameter and 10 mm width.

What does VMQ mean?

VMQ is the technical designation for silicone rubber, an elastomer used in sealing applications.

What does TC mean on an oil seal?

TC is a commonly used designation for a double-lip rotary shaft seal with a primary sealing lip and an additional dust lip.

Is the 17x35x10 TC oil seal double-lip?

Yes. The TC construction includes a primary sealing lip and an additional dust lip.

Is VMQ the same as silicone?

VMQ refers to silicone rubber used as an elastomeric sealing material.

Is VMQ the same as Viton?

No. VMQ is silicone rubber. Viton is a trademark associated with FKM fluoroelastomers. They are different elastomer families with different properties.

Can a 17x35x10 NBR oil seal replace the VMQ version?

Not automatically. NBR and VMQ have different material properties. Compatibility with the operating medium, temperature, shaft speed and other operating conditions should be checked before substitution.

Are all 17x35x10 oil seals the same?

No. Oil seals with identical dimensions may differ in material, lip configuration, design and other technical characteristics.

What is the English name for this product?

Common English descriptions include 17x35x10 TC VMQ Oil Seal, 17x35x10 Silicone Oil Seal, 17x35x10 Double-Lip Oil Seal and 17x35x10 VMQ Rotary Shaft Seal.
