How are Oil Seals made?
- Proper installation of oil seals is crucial to ensure their effectiveness and longevity. The seal must be placed in the correct position, with the lip facing the fluid it is intended to contain. Care must also be taken to avoid damaging the seal during installation, as even a small tear or deformation can compromise its performance.
- The secret behind the 22x35x7 oil seal's success lies in its meticulous design and superior materials. The dimensions of 22mm by 35mm by 7mm are carefully chosen to ensure a precise fit within the application, while also allowing for easy installation and removal. The material composition, typically a high-quality rubber or synthetic elastomer, is resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and pressure, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.
- In addition to protecting the wheel bearings from contamination, wheel oil seals also help to prevent oil leakage from the wheel hub. This is particularly important in heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks and buses, where the wheels are subjected to high loads and harsh operating conditions. A leaking wheel oil seal can result in oil loss, which can lead to inadequate lubrication of the wheel bearings and potentially cause serious damage to the wheel assembly.

Put a wooden block or a piece of large tube against the seal and gently tap it squarely into the housing until it is fully home. Refit the timing cover, if removed.

What Are Oil Seals?
An oil seal, also known as crankshaft retainer, is a small device, but essential to ensure the proper engine operation. It plays a key role in all moving parts of an engine, acting as a physical barrier. This mechanical seal fulfils the dual purpose of sealing a rotary shaft to maintain the necessary lubrication (avoiding leaks) and preventing other foreign matter from contaminating shafts and bearings in the rotary shaft equipment.
