Advantages:
– Good static sealing
– Compensation of different thermal expansion
– Reduced risk of fretting corrosion
– Effective protection against air side contaminants
– Higher bore surface roughness is allowed
– Installation in split-housings
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces
Another critical factor to consider is the type of seal most suitable for particular machinery. When selecting your mechanical sealing solution, assess your machine’s shaft speed, temperature, pressure, environment, and the medium coming into contact with the seal during an operation. These factors help determine the color, size, sealing element, lip material to choose from, and if it can be sealed out or sealed in.

The first step in installing oil seals is to clean the surface where they will be placed. Dirt, debris, and other contaminants can cause the oil seal to become damaged or misshapen, leading to leaks. Clean the surface with a solvent or soap and water, and make sure it is completely dry before installing the oil seal.
Lift off the cloth, making sure no debris falls into the valve gear.
