Lift off the cover. It may need a gentle sideways tap to free it. - Mechanical face seals, also known as mechanical seal rings or floating seals, consist of two metal rings that press against each other to create a tight seal. These seals are commonly used in heavy-duty applications such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment, where high pressures and temperatures are present.
This is a specific type of synthetic rubber that’s commonly used in o-rings, gaskets, oil seals, sterile & chemical resistant gloves, and other molded items. Viton has a high density and it possesses the widest temperature range of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why it’s highly preferred as the best material for higher temperature applications.
Spring - Versatility. Standard lip seals are best for applications within dry environments, or those lacking lubrication. Oil seals can act as an alternative with increased functionality.
- Low wear and tear
- Oil seals, often made from high-quality rubber compounds or synthetic materials, are designed to prevent the leakage of lubricants while inhibiting the ingress of contaminants. The 8 in the name likely refers to the percentage of oil-resistant material used in the seal's construction, enhancing its ability to withstand exposure to various oils and lubricants without degradation.
