Trelleborg Unveils Low-Friction Seals for Off-Highway Vehicles
What happened
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions introduced a new range of specialized sealing components called Turcon SG rotary seals for challenging off-highway environments. These seals are designed for use in mining, construction, agriculture, and forestry vehicles. The low-friction system maintains airtightness and, when paired with central tire inflation systems (CTIS), supports up to 15% reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. The seals also boast an extended service life exceeding 10,000 hours.
Why it matters
The new seals aim to reduce operational costs for customers by cutting downtime and improving efficiency. By supporting lower fuel consumption and reducing soil compaction, the technology addresses key operational challenges in heavy industry.
