In-Wheel Motors (IWM)

In Wheel Motors

Advanced Seals for Maximum Protection of In-Wheel Motors

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies contributes to the development of in-wheel motors (IWM) with a patented seal design. From small electric cars to commercial vehicles, these seals allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and engine manufacturers to take full advantage of wheel hub motors. Scalability, high-quality materials and a plug & play concept make the seals highly versatile.

Sealing Solutions from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies

We have developed two patented seal designs specifically for in-wheel motors. The key feature they share is the speed-dependent adjustment of the sealing performance and friction by means of a special geometry. The design is based on the anti-proportional behavior of speed and the ingress of dirt.

The seal lip is positioned so that it becomes increasingly detached from the contact surface or, optionally, lifts off completely as the centrifugal forces increase.

Cassette Seal for Heavy Duty Applications

  • Closed cassette system with a double sealing lip and mating contact surface
  • Coordinated materials made of stainless steel and special rubber compounds
  • No new machining of shaft required during repair work
  • Reduced total cost of ownership

V-Seal for Automotive & Truck Applications

  • Open system for maximum flexibility
  • Plug & play for installation and service
  • High-quality HNBR material for high temperatures, high speeds and low friction
  • Attractive system costs

Your Benefits

  • Stable even at high temperatures and speeds
  • Scalable for installation space diameters from 1 to 530 mm
  • Superior protection
  • Maximum durability in the class
  • High compensation of axial rotor-stator offset
  • Water protection up to protection class IP67
  • Extended service life of the seal optimizes operating efficiency and maintenance costs
  • Depending on configuration, the sealing systems are virtually maintenance-free
