The numbers don’t come up on any searches, I’ve tried for days. I can get a seal the same ID OD and Width but no where close to the same lip design and unknown material. Google installing a Teflon oil seal, it’s easy on a tapered shaft designed for such but not on a shaft with no taper and 2 seals with 4 lips to get a frozen shaft through quickly, then do another as quickly right along side it while twisting and screwing the lobe mesh together. Remember these shafts turn 18-23,000 rpms, that’s some high surface speed for a contact seal to survive under. I made a tool to pre-fit Bonds Teflon seals correctly, will be sacrificing one fitted seal in a 275F degree oven test to see what it does to the fitted to size Teflon lip, Teflon grows like mad when heated, and if heated too much produces some really nasty for you fumes. Hopefully it doesn’t squash my plans of heating up the bearings and housing as an assembly in a 275F oven over night and then drop the frozen at minus 22F for a week rotors right in them stress free. If I can pull that off it will run forever even at 25,000 rpm input speed.
