Recognizing and avoiding common installation mistakes is key to the longevity and effectiveness of oil seals. Here are some frequent errors to watch for:
a) The shaft on which the oil seal is to be mounted should be ground with the surface finish or surface roughness between 0.2 to 0.8 Microns. It is best for the shaft to be hardened atleast to 40 – 45 HRc in order to prevent groove formation on the shaft due to the pressure exerted by the spring.
There are several key factors to consider when selecting the right oil seal to best protect your application.
In conclusion, the crankshaft oil seal is a crucial component in an engine that helps to prevent oil leaks and protect the engine from damage. Regular maintenance and inspections of the crankshaft oil seal are essential to ensure that the engine remains in good working order. If any signs of damage or wear are detected, it is important to replace the seal promptly to prevent any potential issues. By taking care of the crankshaft oil seal, you can help to prolong the life of your engine and avoid costly repairs in the future.Stijn de Cnop
Why use NOK-CN factory-made oil seals?
NBR is recommended for the majority of standard applications and is the most commonly used rubber (elastomer) material. This is because of Nitrile's compatibility with most environments as well as its relatively low cost. Generally nitrile is used for disposable non-latex gloves, footwear, automotive transmission belts, synthetic leather, hoses, o-rings, gaskets, oil seals, and more.
