- The 40x52x7 oil seal finds extensive use in automotive, industrial, and hydraulic applications where the prevention of oil leakage and protection against dust or debris ingress is paramount
- The oil seal, located at the point where the piston rod enters the shock body, serves as a barrier between the hydraulic fluid and the external environment. Its primary function is to prevent oil leakage, ensuring consistent lubrication for the internal components. A damaged or worn-out oil seal can lead to oil leaks, causing a reduction in damping force and eventually, a less responsive and less stable ride.
Most oil seals consist of some basic elements that configure their structure, such as the sealing element, the metal case, and the spring:

Have you found the right oil seal for your application? The next step is a precise and error-free assembly, so that the oil seal is fitted without being damaged. If you are replacing an existing oil seal, you must first disassemble it with the same care and precision. In this article, you will read all about the different steps of an appropriate (dis)assembly process that contributes to optimal operation within the application.
