Capseals, Kapseals, Hatseal’s Galore

admin • December 11, 2012

No matter what you call it, Capseals, Kapseals, Hatseals, Eclipse can cross it over for you. Has your current seal supplier discontinued a product line that you depend on? Give Eclipse a call and we can cross these part numbers over to our Eclipse Seal Ring numbers for you. We have received many calls in the last few weeks from customers no longer able to get their hands on Minnesota Rubber Kin & Kex Kapseal “Boots”. With a quick conversation, we should be able to cross over these parts and facilitate a quick transition to the new seals. We would also be happy to work with the end user on any test data required to make this transition including material data tests, inspection, or PPAP documentation. Our engineers are currently in the process of creating catalog pages to facilitate standardized documentation for M.R., Trelleborg, & Parker cross references, but in the mean time please continue to contact us and we will continue to supply these on a part by part basis. Thank you for your interest in Eclipse.
