Description
Overview:
The Benford 415 Axle Seal (Benford Part Number 417 2850) is a heavy‐duty sealing component used in axle assemblies on construction machinery. Built for Benford/Terex/Mecalac platforms, it creates a reliable barrier that keeps gear oil and grease in while blocking dirt, water, and grit. The seal is typically constructed with an oil‐resistant elastomer sealing lip and a steel‐reinforced case to handle shock loads, vibration, and harsh site conditions. It is suitable for common plant such as site dumpers, compactors, and mixers where axle integrity is critical. By maintaining lubrication and excluding contaminants, this seal helps protect bearings and gears, reduces wear, and supports smooth, efficient operation during routine maintenance or repair.
Key Features:
- Benford part number 417 2850 for correct identification and ordering
- Oil‐resistant sealing lip with robust metal reinforcement for long service life
- Helps stop lubricant leaks and protects against dirt, grit, and water ingress
- Supports axle bearing and gear longevity under demanding site conditions
- Stable performance under vibration, shock, and temperature variation
- Suitable for wheel‐end and differential‐side axle locations (as applicable)
- Straightforward press‐fit installation with standard workshop tools
- Ideal for planned maintenance and quick repairs to minimise downtime
Typical Applications:
Used in axle assemblies on construction plant such as site dumpers, compactors, and mixers. Commonly fitted at wheel ends or differential/output sides where the rotating shaft exits the housing. Appropriate for jobs addressing oil leaks, bearing replacements, or full axle overhauls to restore sealing integrity and protect internal components from contamination.
Also known as:
Axle oil seal, axle shaft seal, wheel hub oil seal, differential side seal, half shaft seal, wheel end oil seal, output shaft seal. These terms are often used across workshop manuals and parts catalogues when referencing the same type of rotary shaft seal used on axle assemblies.
