Requirements of the shaft
Even more important than a correct interference fit of the Oil Seal is a perfectly smooth shaft in the region of the seal, particularly if shaft surface speed is high and the medium to be sealed is under a certain amount of excess pressure. The surface roughness of the shaft depends on the average profile depth Ra of the tool marks caused by the machining process. Oil Seals made of PTFE require, independent of the surface speed, a surface roughness of between 0,1 to 0,2 mm, because PTFE has less wear resistance than rubber seals. For normal circumstances, the shaft in the region of the seal must have a surface roughness of approximately:  To summarize, the surface of the shaft in the region of the seal should not have noticeable machining marks. For pivoting shafts and other difficult or critical sealing applications, it is recommended that Oil Seals with a helical groove hydrodynamic pattern, which has a pumping effect, be used. When grinding and polishing, an axial movement of the grindstone along the shaft must be avoided in order to prevent machine lay. 

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.

Auto parts oil seals play a crucial role in the proper functioning and maintenance of vehicle systems. These seals are designed to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and the ingress of contaminants, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of various components within the vehicle. From wheel hub oil seals to steering oil seals, these components are essential for the smooth operation and longevity of automotive systems.

Before fitting the oil seal, it is essential to check that the oil seal, shaft and bore are clean and undamaged. The surfaces the oil seal will come into contact with must be free of sharp points or burrs. The sealing lip is fragile, so even minimal damage can cause a leak. It is also important that the shaft and bore are correctly finished.

What should you take into account when selecting an oil seal? Different types of oil seals and various types of materials are available, each designed for specific uses. It is also important to select the right size of oil seal for the best results. For this reason, selecting the right oil seal requires adequate understanding of the application in which it will be used.
