Garlock seals, sold & sourced by Dalton Bearing Service
Dalton Bearing Service supplies Garlock oil seals, bearing isolators, gaskets and packing from our counter at 601 S Glenwood Ave in Dalton, Georgia, and ships worldwide. Garlock has made industrial sealing products in Palmyra, New York, since the 1880s. It is a common choice for plants that need a seal to hold up where a standard lip seal wears out.
For rotating equipment, Garlock's Klozure line covers radial lip oil seals in nitrile, Viton and PTFE, split seals for large shafts that cannot be pulled, and heavy-duty seals for mills and gearboxes. Garlock bearing isolators are non-contact labyrinth seals that keep water and dust out of pump and motor bearing housings, and they outlast lip seals in wet or dirty service. For static joints and valves, Garlock makes compressed sheet and PTFE gaskets (the Gylon line among them), spiral-wound and kammprofile metallic gaskets, and compression packing for pumps and valve stems.
The easiest way to get a seal quote is to send us the shaft diameter, bore, width and material from the old seal, or the Garlock part number. For gaskets, tell us the flange size, pressure class and media. If a Garlock number has a long lead time, we can offer equivalent seals from other makers we stock.
Send us a part number, a photo, or a description, and our team will track it down and get you a price.
Garlock ownership & history
Olin J. Garlock founded the company in 1887 after developing a better way to seal piston rods on industrial steam engines. Sources disagree on whether the first shop was in Palmyra or nearby Port Gibson, New York, but Garlock has been headquartered in Palmyra for most of its history.
Colt Industries took over Garlock in 1976; Colt later became Coltec Industries, which Goodrich acquired. In May 2002 Goodrich spun off Coltec's industrial businesses, Garlock among them, as EnPro Industries, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Garlock remains an Enpro sealing brand today.

Why buy Garlock seals from Dalton Bearing
Dalton Bearing Service has kept plants running from Dalton, Georgia since 1946. We are an independent industrial distributor, not the manufacturer — which means we can quote Garlock seals straight from stock or our supplier network and, when a number is backordered or discontinued, offer a checked cross-reference — often from Chicago Rawhide, National Oil Seals or Dichtomatik. Send a part number, a photo of the nameplate, or just the dimensions, and a real person gets back to you with price and availability, usually the same day.
