Is the seal you need not available from one of our standard ranges? No problem. We design and supply seals in any material, size and quantity - from very small to very large volumes.
- Keep the engine coolant level checked to prevent overheating and subsequent gasket damage. The quality of the power steering oil seal is also a critical factor in its performance
When installed, the oil seal’s flexible lip is placed against the rotating shaft, and the casing is pushed into the housing for support. It is crucial that the sealing lip is lubricated to avoid overheating caused by friction.
Metal cased design
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.
The perfect solution to this is to always use an oil seal that fits properly; the right size of the seal should be used. And in other cases, backup devices should be used to avoid the buildup of clearance gaps within the mating edges.
On some engines you have to remove the clutch-housing cover to reach the rear nuts.
A shaft oil seal, also known as a lip seal, is typically made of rubber or other flexible materials, with a lip that seals against the rotating shaft. It is designed to effectively seal the interface between the shaft and the housing, preventing the entry of dirt, dust, water, and other contaminants that could potentially damage the machinery.
Table 2 b): Common types of oil seals (without spring)
Both sealing types are popularly used in different mechanical engineering applications. How are they different? The article explains the fundamental working mechanism of both categories of seals.
This technique is used when the seal depth must match the housing surface precisely. It involves stopping the installation tool at the machined housing face. Ensure the tool is perfectly perpendicular to the shaft for best results. This technique is ideal for applications requiring exact seal positioning relative to the housing face.
