GRN® 16x30x7 NBR TC Double Lip Rotary Shaft Seal

GRN® 16x30x7 NBR TC Double Lip Rotary Shaft Seal

GRN® 16x30x7 NBR TC is a double lip radial shaft seal / rotary shaft seal / oil seal with nominal dimensions of 16x30x7 mm, manufactured from NBR - Nitrile Butadiene Rubber. The TC configuration combines a spring-loaded primary dynamic sealing lip with an additional auxiliary dust lip.

Principal dimensions:

d: 16 mm

GRN® 16x30x7 NBR TC - Technical Characteristics

The principal identification parameters are:

Brand: GRN®

Product type: Radial shaft seal / rotary shaft seal / oil seal

Design: TC

Configuration: Double lip

Material: NBR

Material name: Nitrile Butadiene Rubber

Dimensions: 16x30x7 mm

Shaft diameter d: 16 mm

Outside diameter D: 30 mm

GRN® 16x30x7 Dimensions

The nominal installation dimensions are:

d: 16 mm - nominal shaft diameter

D: 30 mm - nominal outside diameter / housing bore diameter

B: 7 mm - nominal axial width

Complete dimensions:

16x30x7 mm

The first dimension corresponds to the nominal shaft diameter on which the primary dynamic sealing lip operates.

The second dimension defines the nominal outside diameter of the seal and corresponding housing bore.

The third dimension specifies the nominal axial width.

All three dimensions should be verified when identifying or selecting a replacement.

TC Double Lip Seal Design

The English design designation used for this GRN® product is:

TC

The TC configuration incorporates:

Primary sealing lip - the main dynamic sealing element operating against the rotating shaft.

Garter spring - supports contact between the primary sealing edge and the shaft surface.

Auxiliary dust lip - provides an additional external barrier protecting the primary sealing zone against contamination.

The construction can therefore be described as a:

TC double lip radial shaft seal

TC double lip rotary shaft seal

TC double lip oil seal

How Does the GRN® 16x30x7 TC Seal Work?

The primary sealing lip operates dynamically against a shaft with a nominal diameter of 16 mm.

The circumferential garter spring supports contact between the primary sealing edge and the shaft surface.

The auxiliary lip provides an additional barrier against contaminants entering the primary sealing zone from the external side.

The primary lip performs the principal dynamic sealing function, while the auxiliary lip provides additional external protection.

No left-hand or right-hand hydrodynamic direction is assigned to this exact GRN® variant because such directionality has not been confirmed.

NBR - Nitrile Butadiene Rubber

The specified sealing material is:

NBR - Nitrile Butadiene Rubber

NBR is a widely used elastomer family in radial shaft sealing technology.

For this product, the material forms part of the exact identification:

16x30x7 + NBR + TC

The NBR designation alone does not identify the exact elastomer compound used in this specific GRN® seal.

Without exact product-specific documentation, fixed values should not be assigned for:

Shore A hardness

Minimum operating temperature

Maximum operating temperature

Maximum operating pressure

Maximum rotational speed

Maximum shaft surface speed

Generic NBR operating limits should not be presented as guaranteed specifications for this exact product.

What Does 16x30x7 NBR TC Mean?

The designation can be interpreted as follows:

16 - nominal shaft diameter in mm

30 - nominal outside diameter in mm

7 - nominal axial width in mm

NBR - Nitrile Butadiene Rubber

TC - double lip seal design

Why Is the 16 mm Shaft Diameter Important?

For this product:

d: 16 mm

The primary dynamic sealing lip is designed to operate against a shaft corresponding to this nominal diameter.

A seal designed for a 15 mm, 17 mm or another shaft diameter is a separate dimensional variant.

The complete:

16x30x7 mm

dimension should therefore be retained for correct identification.

Why Is the 30 mm Outside Diameter Important?

The nominal outside diameter is:

D: 30 mm

This corresponds to the nominal housing bore for the seal.

Other radial shaft seals designed for a 16 mm shaft may have different outside diameters.

Matching the shaft diameter alone therefore does not establish dimensional interchangeability.

Why Is the 7 mm Width Important?

The nominal axial width is:

B: 7 mm

This is the third principal dimensional parameter.

The product should be identified as:

16x30x7 mm

and not simply:

16x30 mm

A 16x30 mm shaft seal with another width represents a separate dimensional variant.

GRN® 16x30x7 vs Other 16 mm Shaft Seals

A nominal 16 mm shaft diameter alone is not sufficient to identify a radial shaft seal.

Other seals may share:

d: 16 mm

while differing in:

outside diameter

axial width

material

lip configuration

hydrodynamic features

or

manufacturer-specific profile

For this product, retain the complete technical identification:

GRN® + 16x30x7 + NBR + TC

Selection and Interchangeability

When selecting a replacement for GRN® 16x30x7 NBR TC, verify at least:

• Shaft diameter d: 16 mm
• Outside diameter D: 30 mm
• Width B: 7 mm
• Material: NBR
• Design: TC
• Configuration: Double lip
• Primary sealing lip: Spring-loaded
• Additional lip: Auxiliary dust lip

Matching the 16x30x7 mm dimensions alone does not automatically establish complete technical interchangeability.

When comparing this product with CORTECO, SKF, Simrit or another manufacturer's seal, the actual material, lip construction, directional features and application requirements should also be verified.

Manufacturer-specific profile designations should not automatically be treated as equivalent to TC.
