End Covers for Bearing Protection
DMR™ End Covers (end caps) are designed for applications where the shaft does not pass through the housing wall of the bore. DMR VK end covers protect the bearings and help to avoid accidents. The covers were developed to fit into housing bores for rotary shaft seals, and they have the same tolerances as those for the O.D. of a seal. The inner housing of the end covers is carbon steel, and the outer seal is nitrile rubber. They offer great resistance to a wide range of fluids and most of the chemicals and can withstand operating temperatures up to 100 °C (210 °F). They can be installed easily and are cost-saving components.
