White Rubber Gasket Sheet: Versatile Sealing Solutions

In order to use the oil seal reasonably, the following points should be paid attention to:

One of the key benefits of floating oil seals is their ability to provide a secure and reliable seal even in high-pressure environments. Unlike traditional seals that rely on compression to create a seal, floating oil seals utilize a unique design that allows them to float on the oil and adjust their position as needed to maintain an effective seal. This design not only enhances the reliability of the seal but also helps to prolong the lifespan of the seal by reducing wear and tear.

Oil seal installation

Wear and oil loss remains two of the most frequent signs of engine seal failure and, if not paid attention to, it can give rise to a breakdown in the vehicle’s system. Regular maintenance and routine oil changes minimize the issues associated with oil seals and potential oil loss. 

An effective way to ensure particles do not contaminate your oil seal is to store it in a container or sealed bag away from areas where dust and debris are prevalent. Resealable, heavy-duty plastics bags and bins are ideal for keeping your shaft seal protected.

As earlier said, oil seals perform some functions that ensure the functionality of mechanical equipment and extend their lifespan. And how they do this is by retaining lubricants at all cost and not making them escape no matter how high the pressure of the machine is.

Tighten all fixings in sequence to the correct torque (consult a service manual or dealer if you are uncertain of the torque).

Pressure - Many oil seals can only withstand low-pressure applications, so understanding the compression set of your components is key.
