2. Contaminant Protection Grease seals act as a first line of defense against contaminants. Dust, water, and debris can enter the bearing assembly and potentially lead to corrosion, pitting, and other forms of wear. By keeping these contaminants out, grease seals help maintain the integrity of the bearings.
1. Leak Prevention One of the primary functions of a hub oil seal is to prevent oil leaks. If the oil seal fails, the lubricant can escape, leading to insufficient lubrication of the bearings and other critical components. This can result in increased wear and tear, decreased performance, and eventually, catastrophic failure.
