Lip Seals For Thrusters
Developed for thruster applications, the SUPREME TS fits in small spaces. All TS seals are custom made for specific applications such as Propulsion, Retractable, Tunnel and Bow Thrusters. In addition, the SUPREME TS applies to Dynamic Positioning Systems. In the TS3 design, equipped with three lip seals, the chamber between the second and third lip seal fills with oil. The resulting pressure effectively keeps water outside and oil inside the thruster gearbox. The SUPREME TS is also available in the heavy-duty TS4 design. The TS4 contains four lip seals.
