How to choose the right oil seal

 

Before choosing an oil seal, we should have a preliminary understanding of the oil seal and know what it does. Oil seal, as the name suggests, blocks the outward flow of oil so that the oil can be effectively stored in a space. In fact, we can know the function of the oil seal literally. Oil seals prevent lubricating oil from leaking inside power equipment, allowing the lubricating oil inside the equipment to be used continuously and effectively. The most common ones are TC oil seal/car oil seal/valve seal/power steering oil seal/freeze plug..

 

How to choose the right oil seal

 

1. Material

To see the quality of an oil seal, we must first understand its material and see how much temperature its main material can withstand, so that we can initially grasp its application range. Different materials have differences in temperature, elasticity, etc., as well as sealing effects and service life. If you want to choose the best oil seal, its material composition is a link that cannot be ignored.

 

2. Structure

To measure the quality of an oil seal, it mainly depends on its sealing performance and service life. This is the best point to measure the value of the oil seal. These two points are related to the structure of the oil seal. Traditional oil seals are made of pure rubber, so they often leak oil during use. Therefore, many manufacturers no longer choose this oil seal and only use it on some old motors. Skeleton type and split type are the mainstream oil seals currently on the market. On the original basis, a special polymer composite elastic material skeleton or imported Z-shaped spring is added to increase the resilience and stiffness of the oil seal and improve the follower lip. The connection to the shaft avoids the inherent disadvantages of hard materials in the lip. The sealing principle can be understood through the structural changes of the oil seal.

 

3. Timeliness

When we feel that there are no problems with the material, structure, sealing effect, lifespan, etc. of the oil seal, we should conduct an on-site installation experiment to see if the oil seal is easy to install. This is the most important point when using oil seals. During use, if the oil seal is the best in all aspects, but the installation time is long, we will give it priority. This oil seal is only suitable for new equipment. This oil seal is only suitable for new equipment. In industrial supplies, their value will shrink a lot, especially in some large equipment, the convenience of installation is far more important than the material and structure of the oil seal.
