Choosing the wrong materials for an oil seal may result in premature wear, lip hardening, cracks, swelling, and subsequent expensive damage to the machinery in which the seal is used. It is therefore vital to gather all relevant data and consult with experts before purchasing to match the right type of oil seal with your application.

The spring shown in the figure is known as a garter spring, and it maintains tension on the sealing lip of the seal. Garter springs are closed coil springs used in the form of a ring, the ends of which are connected together as shown in Figure 2.10.
If the seal is being fitted to original equipment you may have some influence over the shaft and housing bore finish, but if you are replacing a worn seal you still need to take into account the condition of these 2 essential parts.
Failure to install oil seals correctly can lead to failure. Factors such as knocking the seal into place may cause its spring to tilt in the bore or be out of alignment. Consider switching to a solid adhesive and applying it around the surface of the spring to prevent it from loosening.
One way to identify a seal that has not been fitted correctly is to check the rough shear of the rubber. To resolve this issue, align the mounting tool before positioning the seal in place.
