This technique is used when the seal depth must match the housing surface precisely. It involves stopping the installation tool at the machined housing face. Ensure the tool is perfectly perpendicular to the shaft for best results. This technique is ideal for applications requiring exact seal positioning relative to the housing face.

Figure 9: Items relating to oil seal characteristics
Oil seals are protective elements. They prevent the mixing of water and lubricants within a machine, thereby ensuring optimal machine functionality. Also, oil seals help to prevent lubricant leakage at high pressure like when the machine is working at an extremely high rate. Not only that, radial shaft seals stop foreign components from entering a machine. This is because they can contaminate the lubricant and even damage the machine.

The sealing lip is always made of a rubber or synthetic material. For oil seals with a rubber outer case (R, RST, GR, GRST), the rubber quality of the sealing lip and the outer case are the same.

Over time, piston oil seals may wear out or become damaged due to normal wear and tear, extreme temperatures, or poor maintenance practices. When this happens, oil leakage can occur, leading to decreased engine performance and potential damage to the engine.
