Description
2 7/16 inch Rubber Bearing Block Seal
The 2 7/16 inch Rubber Bearing Block Seal is a critical replacement component designed to protect and support large tank agitation shafts in 850–10,000 gallon sealcoat tanks. Engineered for professional, high-volume sealcoating operations, this seal helps prevent material intrusion, reduce bearing wear, and ensure consistent shaft rotation during extended use.
Intended for contractors managing commercial, municipal, or large residential sealcoating projects, this seal works in conjunction with flange bearings and other drive components to maintain reliable agitation performance. Proper sealing minimizes contamination, protects bearings from asphalt-based materials, and supports consistent productivity across daily operations.
When large tank shafts are exposed to sealcoat material, worn or missing seals can lead to contamination, premature bearing failure, vibration, and uneven shaft rotation. The 2 7/16” Rubber Bearing Block Seal safeguards critical components and prolongs the life of your agitation system—much like weatherstripping protects a door from external damage while keeping it operating smoothly.
Durable Rubber Construction for Long-Term Protection
Manufactured from high-quality industrial rubber, this bearing block seal resists abrasion, chemical exposure, and heat associated with sealcoat materials. It maintains flexibility and integrity under the stress of heavy tank volumes and continuous agitation, helping keep bearings clean and protected.
Supports Large Tank Agitation Systems
This 2 7/16” seal is designed for flange bearing assemblies used on 850–10,000 gallon sealcoat tanks. By preventing material intrusion and maintaining proper lubrication, it helps preserve smooth, balanced shaft rotation during high-volume production cycles.
Easy Installation for Maintenance Efficiency
The seal is engineered for straightforward installation alongside compatible flange bearings, reducing downtime during routine service or seasonal maintenance. Timely replacement of worn seals helps minimize mechanical stress and keeps large-capacity tanks operating at peak efficiency.

FAQ
Is this seal compatible with all large tanks?
It is designed for standard 2 7/16” flange bearing assemblies used on 850–10,000 gallon tanks. Always verify measurements before ordering.
Why should the bearing block seal be replaced?
Worn or damaged seals allow material to enter bearing housings, leading to premature wear, vibration, and uneven shaft rotation.
Can this seal withstand hot sealcoat material?
Yes. The industrial-grade rubber construction is suitable for typical sealcoat operating temperatures and continuous use.
How often should the seal be inspected?
Inspection during seasonal maintenance or routine service is recommended, with replacement as needed to maintain performance.
Use Case Example
A contractor performing municipal sealcoating with multiple 6,000-gallon tanks notices early signs of bearing contamination during preseason inspection. Installing the 2 7/16” Rubber Bearing Block Seal prevents further material intrusion, restores smooth shaft rotation, and allows uninterrupted high-volume production throughout the season.
