- Maintenance Regular inspection and maintenance of hydraulic systems can significantly extend the lifespan of oil seals. Monitoring for signs of wear, such as deformation or cracking, can help identify potential issues before they escalate.
Importance of Wheel Oil Seals
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.
