End caps are used in order to seal bearings, e.g., in gearboxes, where the shaft does not pass through the housing wall. This product offers great advantages for design and production. The end caps are designed to fit directly in housing bores for rotary shaft lip seals which means that a shaft can easily be left or right hand oriented.

Harwal end caps are made of cold rolled steel and Nitrile (NBR) rubber (70 IRHD). The VK type is for applications that do not have pressure above 7psi. The VKHP type is designed to handle pressure up to 50psi.
