While dust lip seals are designed for durability, they are not impervious to wear. Regular inspection is necessary to ensure they are functioning correctly. Signs of wear can include visible cracks, deformation, or the presence of contamination in the lubricated areas. Prompt replacement of worn seals is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the machinery.
2. Pressure Maintenance Hydraulic systems rely on maintaining high pressure to operate effectively. Properly functioning seals are essential to retaining this pressure, ensuring that hydraulic cylinders can perform their tasks efficiently. Pressure drops due to seal failure can lead to a decline in productivity and operational reliability.
