Ensuring Proper Installation and Maintenance
Oil seals are used in any industrial application that has a rotating or moving part assembly. This includes:
HID (High Intensity Discharge)
One of the key advantages of neoprene foam gaskets is their resilience and durability. Neoprene is known for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as exposure to water, UV rays, and ozone. This resilience makes neoprene foam gaskets a reliable choice for outdoor applications where the gaskets may be exposed to the elements.
As an example, this oil seal has a part number that corresponds to a Shaft Size of 3”, a Bore Size of 4”, a Width Size of 0.625”, a Style of TB2, and is made of Viton material. Conversely, the same size oil seal in Metric has a Shaft Size of 76.20 mm, a Bore Size of 101.60 mm, and a Width Size of 15.88 mm.

When included, the garter spring applies pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft, ensuring a tight seal. The choice of material, like that of the case, largely depends on the environment of use.

Different Type Rotary Shaft Oil Seal
Common lip materials available for use in our oil seals include:
First, wash your hands before handling the oil seal. This is because dirt on the sealing surface or oil in fingerprints can compromise the integrity of the seal, while small particles can cause wear and tear, damaging the sealing surface and leading to leaks.
Secondly, do not unpack the seal unless you are ready to install it. After opening, the seal face must be cleaned before installing it on the equipment to prevent contamination.
Finally, ensure that your equipment is clean. This is because dirty equipment can affect the effectiveness of the oil seal.
