BENEFITS OF OIL SEALS
Installing an oil seal correctly is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your equipment. This guide provides detailed instructions on preparing for installation, executing various installation techniques, and avoiding common errors. Our step-by-step approach will help you achieve a reliable seal every time, preventing leaks and mechanical failures.

The numbers 30-50-10 indicate the dimensions of the oil seal, specifically its inner diameter, outer diameter, and height. This measurement ensures that the oil seal fits perfectly into the designated space and effectively seals off any potential leaks.
Oil seal type or shape
Coat the sump flange with gasket-sealant and fit the flat parts of the gasket to it, ensuring that they are exactly positioned and joined.
Oil seals are installed beside the bearing while the flexible lip is pressed against the rotating shaft. The casing pressing into the housing holds the seal in place. The sealing lip is essentially lubricated to minimize the risk of overheating due to the generated friction.
These types are made with a metal outer case and a PTFE lip. They are suitable for a wide range of temperatures from -90 °C to +260 °C.These lip seals can also be used for higher pressures of up to 10 bar (special types up to 25 bar) and rotational speeds of up to 40-45 m/s. Certain grades of PTFE are suitable for use in pharmaceutical and food applications. One important point is that PTFE lip seals do require a shaft with a harder, smoother finish.
Select the correct oil seal size
Fluid Types - Various oil seals are able to withstand interactions with oils, fuels, grease, water and more. Knowing what type of fluid the rotary shaft seal will be in constant contact with will ensure the longevity of the seal and surrounding components.
b) The area where the oil seal is seated is to be plunge ground in order to prevent wear grooves that normally tend to wear out the lip of the oil seal at a faster rate.
One option is to buy oil seals from specialised gasket and sealing material companies like Polymer Trade Manufacturing Ltd, which is known for its expertise in dealing with gaskets and o rings. These companies not only offer an extensive range of oil seals but also provide expert advice to help customers select the right sealing materials for their specific requirements.
The primary function of a shaft oil seal is to retain lubricating fluids within the system while preventing the ingress of external contaminants. This is particularly important in high-speed applications where the loss of lubricant or the entry of contaminants could lead to rapid wear and damage to the equipment.
A final step in preparation for assembly is to lubricate the shaft, sealing lip and bore with sufficient oil. This will allow the oil seal to slide more easily over the shaft and prevent dry running after the first rotation. Always use oil or grease that is compatible with the oil seal material. In addition, when sliding over the shaft, the oil seal comes into contact with the keyway, threads and grooves. By taping or covering the shaft at the location of these irregularities with oil-soaked paper, the oil seal can be mounted without damage to the sealing lip.

Description
Heavy Duty Wheel Seals and Agricultural Equipment Seals can be divided into AP type, CRS type and ST type. Mainly be used in heavy pollution of agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mining equipment and trucks, buses and other environments. Compared to TC type, with special internal lubrication design, making it closed to the rotary shaft seal and bearing assembly which prevent external dirt effectively; a specially designed multi-lip inside the seal, makes it to achieve the function. Multiple external sealing lip design effectively prevents outside dirt and grease leakage immersion; the internal high-quality grease (butter) prevents muddy and water immersion.
