description SKF CRWH1 Overview
The SKF CRWH1 is a type of radial shaft seal produced by SKF, a global manufacturer of bearings and industrial seals. As part of the company's sealing solutions portfolio, it functions to prevent fluid leakage and protect rolling bearings from contamination in industrial equipment. It is designed to fit between a rotating shaft and a stationary bore, which is a standard requirement in heavy-duty mechanical applications. The seal ensures operational efficiency by maintaining proper lubricant retention in rotating machinery.

help SKF CRWH1 FAQ
What does the H mean in the SKF CRWH1 design?
CRWH1 uses a reinforced double steel case rather than the single steel case used by CRW1. Both designs combine an SKF Wave sealing lip with a carbon-steel garter spring.
Does the CRWH1 have a separate dust lip?
No. CRWH1 is the single-lip version; the related CRWHA1 adds a non-contacting auxiliary lip for improved contaminant exclusion.
What is the purpose of the SKF Wave lip?
Its sinusoidal edge creates a pumping action that returns lubricant toward the oil side while reducing friction and heat. The geometry works in either shaft-rotation direction, unlike directional spiral features.
Can I order a CRWH1 using only the design code?
No, CRWH1 describes the construction rather than one size. A replacement also needs the exact shaft diameter, housing bore, seal width and a compatible lip material such as nitrile rubber or SKF Duralife fluoro rubber.
