The Ultimate Guide to Oil Seals
4. Seal characteristics
The shaft on which the oil seal is mounted has to be ground to a rough surface finish. The shaft also should be hardened to prevent grooves forming on the shaft when the pressure is exerted by the spring on the seal. The area where the seal is fitted also has to be ground to prevent grooves that tend to wear out the lip of the oil seal faster than normal.
There are various sizes of industrial and ordinary oil seals, ranging from 0 to 33cm (13in). These varieties are also designed for different temperatures. As long as your seal matches the original equipment it’s intended for, you can be sure your machine will perform at its best.
