An oil seal, also known as a shaft seal or dirt seal, prevents lubricants such as oil and grease from escaping along a rotating shaft. Oil seals are an important component in preventing leaks and contaminants from clogging various engines, pumps, and pipelines.
Installing and replacing oil seals can be a daunting task. But with the right knowledge, the results can be good. Here are 8 tips to guide you on what to look for when working with oil seals. Read on for more information.Figure 4: JTEKT oil seal features
- The primary function of an oil seal is to prevent the loss of oil from the sealed system while allowing the free movement of the shaft or other rotating components. This is achieved through the use of a flexible material that conforms to the surface of the shaft and creates a tight seal. The material used in oil seals is typically a synthetic rubber or a thermoplastic, which provides excellent resistance to heat, oil, and other chemicals commonly found in machinery environments.
