Oil seals work by creating a tight seal around the rotating shaft. This prevents oil and other fluids from escaping while allowing the shaft to rotate smoothly. The seal is usually made up of a lip that fits snugly against the shaft, preventing any leaks from occurring. Some oil seals also have additional features, such as springs or gaskets, to provide extra support and ensure a secure fit.
In addition to reducing friction, hydraulic piston oil seals also help maintain the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid. By sealing the piston chamber, these seals prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminants from entering the system and causing damage to the hydraulic components. This is particularly important in industries where hydraulic systems are exposed to harsh environments or heavy use.
