Oil seals, often referred to as rotary seals or oil slingers, are devices used to seal rotating shafts or components in equipment that contain fluids, such as oils or greases. These seals are typically made from rubber, polyurethane, or other synthetic materials, which provide excellent resilience and wear resistance. The primary function of oil seals is to contain the lubricant within the system while simultaneously keeping contaminants out, thus maintaining optimal performance.

In the aerospace industry, wiper seals help maintain the integrity of hydraulic systems in aircraft, where contaminants can have catastrophic consequences. Their ability to function effectively under extreme pressures and temperatures makes them indispensable in these high-stakes environments.

1. Disassemble the Cylinder Start by securely supporting the hoist and removing the hydraulic lines. Carefully disassemble the hydraulic cylinder, taking note of the order and orientation of the components.

The advantages of skeleton oil seals over traditional sealing methods are manifold. Firstly, their robust construction allows them to endure extreme operating conditions, such as fluctuations in temperature and pressure. This durability translates into fewer maintenance requirements and lower operating costs, making them a cost-effective solution for many applications.
