The typical construction of a skeleton oil seal includes an outer casing that fits snugly into the housing, a sealing lip that makes contact with the rotating shaft, and a metallic reinforcement that provides rigidity. This combination of materials ensures that the seal is capable of handling the dynamic conditions of machinery while maintaining an effective barrier against the ingress of dirt and the egress of lubricants.
1. Use the Right Seal Kit Always select a seal kit that is specifically designed for your pump’s make and model. Using the correct components ensures compatibility and optimal performance.
