The typical construction of a skeleton oil seal includes an outer casing that fits snugly into the housing, a sealing lip that makes contact with the rotating shaft, and a metallic reinforcement that provides rigidity. This combination of materials ensures that the seal is capable of handling the dynamic conditions of machinery while maintaining an effective barrier against the ingress of dirt and the egress of lubricants.
1. Preventing Fluid Leakage Leaking fluid can lead to decreased efficiency, increased friction, and potential damage to machinery. Oil seals help maintain the integrity of lubricants, which is essential for optimal performance.
What is a Skeleton Oil Seal?
1. Fluid Leaks Visible leaks around the seals are a clear indication that replacement is necessary.
What is a Hydraulic Oil Seal Kit?
1. Regular Inspections Conduct routine inspections of hydraulic motors and their seals. Look for signs of wear, such as cracks, tears, or deformation in the seal material.
