- Regular maintenance and inspection of oil seals are also important to prevent leaks and ensure the proper functioning of the machinery. This includes checking for wear and tear, replacing seals as needed, and ensuring that the seals are properly lubricated.
- One of the key benefits of metallic oil seals is their ability to withstand extreme environments. They can endure high temperatures, which is crucial in industries like aerospace and automotive where engines operate at soaring heat levels. Additionally, they offer superior resistance to wear and tear, preventing premature failure and reducing maintenance costs over time.
Advantages:
– Good static sealing
– Compensation of different thermal expansion
– Reduced risk of fretting corrosion
– Effective protection against air side contaminants
– Higher bore surface roughness is allowed
– Installation in split-housings
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces
Before you start installing oil seals, you need to choose the right size and type of oil seal for your application. Oil seals come in a variety of sizes and materials, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs. Consider factors such as temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility when choosing an oil seal.
Double Lip Oil Seals
Synthetic Rubber Oil Seals - Styrene Butadiene Rubber oil seals, or just SBR oil seals, offer strong resistance to abrasions and lesions, making them an ideal seal for fast-moving machinery. With the ability to withstand extreme temperatures with its heat-aging qualities, they can be used in outdoor components. They are also seen as more cost-effective oil seals than natural rubber.
Apply gasket sealant to the engine flange and refit the cover. Tighten the fixings but do not overtighten them.
Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.
Oil seals are also dirt, lip, shaft, and grease seals. They’re simple devices installed in rotary shaft equipment to minimize the risk of lubricant leakage and prevent other foreign substances such as water, dirt, and dust from entering.
Rubber O.D. wall type Provides stable sealing performance around the seal O.D. surface.
Before installing the oil seal, it is essential that the oil seal, shaft and bore are not damaged. So, ensure that the surfaces the oil seal comes in contact with do not have any sharp points or burrs. The sealing lip is fragile, so any minor damage to it can cause leakage. Also, make sure the oil seal is clean. Even a small amount of dirt can cause a leak. Therefore, never use a pre-used oil seal for the assembly.

The garter spring is located at the end of the primary sealing lip and used to apply pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft. Common garter spring material types are:
