Have you found the right oil seal for your application? The next step is fitting the oil seal correctly, so that it remains undamaged.
Metal cased standard oil seal with vulcanised sealing lips. This type is frequently replaced by type S.
The auto head gasket, also known as the cylinder head gasket, is a critical component in the engine that seals the cylinder head to the engine block. This gasket plays a pivotal role in maintaining the combustion chamber's integrity, preventing the leakage of coolant, oil, or combustion gases. A properly functioning auto head gasket is essential for ensuring optimal engine performance, preventing overheating, and maintaining the overall efficiency of the engine.
Benefits of Oil Seals
BENEFITS OF OIL SEALS
Nitrile rubber offers good durability for general use, while the flexibility of the spring behind the sealing lip keeps the oil seal firmly in place against the moving part.
Advantages:
– Good static sealing
– Compensation of different thermal expansion
– Reduced risk of fretting corrosion
– Higher bore surface roughness is allowed
– Installation in split-housings
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces
Regular inspection and replacement of oil seals are also necessary to prevent leakage and maintain the efficiency of the machinery. Over time, oil seals can wear out due to constant friction and exposure to harsh conditions, leading to leaks and potential damage to the equipment. By monitoring the condition of oil seals and replacing them as needed, operators can prevent costly downtime and repairs.
When you start the actual installation make sure that the oil seal is always facing the right direction. So, not facing outwards, but always with the spring facing the side of the medium to be sealed. The oil seal must then be pressed into the bore. Use appropriate tools, such as a bearing fitting tool set, to ensure that this is done evenly. The oil seal must never be forcefully hammered into the bore.
