Epoxy resin is often used to fill any gaps between the bolt and the concrete, providing additional stability and preventing moisture from seeping into the foundation. This helps to prevent corrosion and rusting of the bolts, which could weaken their strength over time
Before installing the oil seal, check the seal carefully for damage. Make sure there are no cuts or tears around the seal lip, which is the two layers inside the oil seal.
Another thing to consider is the outer diameter of the oil seal. Any damage detected prior to installation will make it impossible to use further.(1) Shaft speed Due to design and structural reasons, high-speed shafts should use high-speed oil seals, low-speed shafts should use low-speed oil seals, and low-speed oil seals cannot be used on high-speed shafts, and vice versa.
For the housing stop installation technique, set the seal depth flush with the bore’s interior shoulder. This technique ensures that the seal is perfectly aligned with internal housing components. A depth gauge can be crucial here to confirm that the seal is positioned correctly.
Shaft and Bore Tolerance
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Over time, piston oil seals may wear out or become damaged due to normal wear and tear, extreme temperatures, or poor maintenance practices. When this happens, oil leakage can occur, leading to decreased engine performance and potential damage to the engine.
Oil seals come in various shapes to fit the machines and substances to be sealed.
Figure 2 shows the structure and the names of the various components of the most typical oil seal.
The functions of the various components are also indicated in Table 1.
