- Inspect for leaks: Visually inspect the system for any signs of leakage or irregularities following the replacement procedure.
2. Contaminant Exclusion These seals protect sensitive mechanical components from dirt, dust, and water, which can cause corrosion or damage to the internal components. This capability is particularly important in harsh working environments.
Steps for Seal Replacement
6. Reassemble the Cylinder After replacing the seals, reassemble the boom cylinder by following the disassembly steps in reverse. Ensure all components are aligned and that there are no obstructions.
Applications
3. Cost-Effectiveness By preventing contamination, dust lip seals can significantly reduce maintenance costs associated with repairs and replacements of machinery parts. Fewer breakdowns and longer service life of equipment mean lower operating costs over time.
