Recognizing and avoiding common installation mistakes is key to the longevity and effectiveness of oil seals. Here are some frequent errors to watch for:
Also, sealant should never be used on the housing and the installation guidelines, as discussed earlier, should be followed.
1. The oil seal consists of a metal ring as the inner skeleton which provides the structural stability to the oil seal.
Thirdly, the size and design of the oil seal also affect the price. Different power weeder models require specific oil seals, and larger or more complex designs may incur higher costs Different power weeder models require specific oil seals, and larger or more complex designs may incur higher costs
Even the slightest chip or dent can cause contaminants to infiltrate your oil seal. If there are any scratches on the shaft, a leak path may develop, allowing the lubricant to drip. To protect the shaft from damage, wrap it in a mesh rubber screen and store it vertically in its compartment. This way, it can be shielded from potential cracking.
Pressure - Many oil seals can only withstand low-pressure applications, so understanding the compression set of your components is key.
