Military and Off-Road Vehicle Systems
Driveline Sealing Solutions
FTL designs high‑performance driveline seals for vehicles and heavy equipment across defence, agriculture, construction and on‑road applications.
Our seals protect critical components from wear, contamination, temperature extremes, pressure changes and external damage. This supports durability, mobility and long‑term service life in demanding environments.
With proven sealing technologies for axles, wheel drives, hubs, final drives and tracked systems, we work with OEMs to create application‑specific designs that deliver consistent reliability in the toughest conditions

Suspension Sealing
Suspension seals encompass a range of rotary, mechanical face and high pressure reciprocating seals that are vital parts of a vehicle’s suspension system. They are critical elements in mobility and are of particular importance to vehicles that need to navigate tough terrain.
Wheel Hub Input Shaft Seals
Input shaft seals are the primary dynamic sealing interface for wheel hubs. This component is responsible for preventing contamination ingress into the wheel hub, improving safety and operational reliability.
Cartridge Seals
Cartridge seals are an innovative development by FTL. This has been achieved by listening to our customers and their needs across differing sectors; ease of installation, fewer components, and reduced space claim have been key drivers for our product innovation.
Solutions
Mechanical Face Seals and other driveline solutions, tailored to your application needs.
In-House testing & Validation support
FTL’s driveline seal test rigs provide accelerated validation, controlled test conditions and realistic duty‑cycle simulation, giving customers faster development and confidence in seal performance. Our in‑house engineering support covers sealing‑interface design, precision wear faces, optimised elastomer configurations and complete cartridge assemblies, helping you understand how each element influences long‑term seal and driveline reliability.
With extensive experience in managing contamination challenges such as fine particulates, mud, slurry and water ingress, we develop mechanical face seal solutions that maintain consistent performance in harsh operating environments.
