The sealing lip is designed to conform to the shaft, creating a tight barrier that minimizes fluid escape
. Depending on the application, rotary shaft seals can be designed for various shaft diameters and operating conditions, including temperature extremes and high pressures.
3. Rod Seals Found in the rod of hydraulic cylinders, these seals prevent fluid from escaping as the rod moves in and out of the cylinder. They are crucial for maintaining pressure and ensuring proper functionality of the system.
Skeleton oil seals are widely used in various applications, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. In the automotive sector, they can be found in engines, transmissions, and differential components. Their ability to prevent oil leakage is vital for maintaining engine performance and longevity. Similarly, in aerospace applications, these seals are essential for ensuring that hydraulic and fuel systems operate efficiently without contamination.
