When included, the garter spring applies pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft, ensuring a tight seal. The choice of material, like that of the case, largely depends on the environment of use.
- Criterion 1: It should be appropriate for the machine's usage environment and the operating condition that is being demanded of the oil seal
- The 7mm spark plug wire is a crucial element in the ignition system of combustion engines. It carries the high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plug, bridging a gap that is both electrical and metaphorical. Without these wires, the precise timing of ignition that modern engines demand would not be achievable, leading to poor performance, increased fuel consumption, and elevated emissions.
It is possible to get custom-made seals manufactured at reasonable rates from good-quality manufacturers if the readymade seal specification doesn’t meet the requirement.
A) Shaft runout
As shown in Figure 8, shaft runout is defined as being twice the eccentricity between the shaft center and center of shaft-center rotation trajectory.
Hopefully after reading this article, you have a better understanding of why choosing the right materials for oil seals is so important. Remember, if you have any questions about industrial oil seals and supplies, please contact us and we would be more than happy to help.
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.
