Prime Standard Oil Lubricated Seals

Prime Standard and Standard Secure Oil Lubricated Seals are compatible with a wide range of mineral oil and EALs.
AEGIR’s oil lubricated seals consist of three or four seal rings and a rotating shaft mounted liner. Dirt, particles and other debris cannot penetrate, seawater is kept out and oil is prevented from leaking into seawater.

AEGIR-Marine is a manufacturer and supplier of high-quality spare parts. AEGIR-Marine PRIME Parts® is their own make for stern tube seals, bearings, liners, O-rings and many more propulsion spares. The R&D department is responsible for all engineering and development.

Prime Standard Oil Lubricated Seals

Over the years AEGIR-Marine has developed many different types of seal assemblies. Careful engineering by the R&D department has led to spare parts as well as complete seal assemblies suitable for renowned makes like Wärtsilä, B+V Industries and Kemel. By applying modern technology and consistently choosing the best materials our seal assemblies meet the highest degree of quality and reliability

AEGIR-Marine Prime Standard.

The PRIME AFT seal consists of three sliding connections between PRIME seal rings and a revolving liner. 

AEGIR-Marine Prime Standard Secure.

In addition to the three AFT seals of the PRIME Standard, an extra seal is installed: Seal #3S. This seal points towards the stern tube and works as a backup for seal 3. When seal ring 3 is leaking, seal#3S will take over its job.

Options for both PRIME Seal types:

  1. On the AFT split type seal all housings and the liner are divisible. This means that there is no need for shaft withdrawal when seals and/or housing parts have to be replaced.
  2. When grooves appear on the surface of the liner, we offer the installation of an extra distance ring (spacer) to extend the liner’s lifetime. 
  3. To improve the lifetime of stern tube liners, we offer a tungsten coating. This coating can be applied on new and used liners and will be done within required tolerances. Since tungsten coating doesn’t wear over the years, this option is very cost efficient.

PRIME Seals and Biodegradable Lubricants:

With the introduction of the Vessel General Permit (VGP) by the USA, all vessels entering American waters must only use biodegradable oils for their propulsion system. Not every stern tube seal has the resistance needed to perform under the influence of the chemicals in these lubricants. PRIME Seals do. Right from the start high resistance Viton is chosen. So, there is no need to switch to a new, more expensive seal.

Anticipating, and in response to the VGP law introduction AEGIR-Marine has:
  • developed a PRIME Blue Seal that is water lubricated
  • developed a PRIMAIR Seal that guarantees to keep water and oil completely separated
