2. Contamination Prevention These seals also prevent the ingress of contaminants such as dirt, dust, and moisture, which could otherwise compromise the functionality of the machinery.
Different applications demand specific designs and materials for oil seals. For instance, seals used in high-temperature or high-pressure environments may require more resilient materials to withstand harsh conditions. Additionally, some seals are designed with specific tolerances and dimensions to fit various shaft sizes, ensuring proper sealing capability.
1. Fluid Leaks Noticeable hydraulic fluid around the cylinder or on ground surfaces beneath the equipment can indicate a failing seal.
