Shaft Surface Finish
Runouts need to be minimized. The most common causes of the center of rotation movement are shaft whip and bearing wobble. The issue is even worse when there’s misalignment. Contrary to widespread assumption and practice, misalignment cannot be corrected or made up for by using flexible couplings.

This is one of the frequent reasons for oil seal failure, and this is majorly because of the volatility of any of the elastomer’s constituents. These causative constituents may be part of the elastomer formulation, or gases that got entrapped in the elastomer during the molding process. The deceiving fact about this failure is that sometimes the oil seal won’t show any visual sign of out-gassing, however, sometimes when the out-gassing is extreme, they shrink.

However, it’s plagued with a few drawbacks, such as poor resistance to ozone, sunlight, and weather. It also has limited resistance to high temperatures and flames.
