defender rear hub seal

Regular maintenance and inspection of your hub dust seals are key to ensuring that they are functioning properly. Over time, the seals can wear down and lose their effectiveness, allowing dust and dirt to penetrate the hub. By checking for signs of wear or damage and replacing the seals as needed, you can prevent costly repairs and keep your equipment running smoothly.

The design of an oil seal can vary, but most consist of a flexible sealing lip that makes contact with the motor shaft or housing. This contact creates a tight seal, preventing leakage. Additional features such as springs may be included to enhance the sealing effect and compensate for any wear that may occur over time.

One of the primary characteristics of high temperature oil seals is their ability to maintain flexibility and resilience at elevated temperatures. Traditional rubber seals may become brittle and lose their sealing capabilities when exposed to heat. In contrast, high temperature oil seals retain their mechanical properties, ensuring that they continue to perform their sealing function effectively even in harsh conditions. Typically, these seals can withstand temperatures ranging from 150°C to over 300°C, depending on the specific material used.
