Front hub seals are designed to create a barrier between the external environment and the internal components of the hub assembly. They help to keep lubricants inside while preventing external contaminants from infiltrating the bearings. This is vital because wheel bearings rely on grease or oil for lubrication, and any ingress of dirt or water can lead to premature wear, overheating, and ultimately, bearing failure.

In the world of industrial manufacturing and machinery maintenance, the integrity of components is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. One of the key elements that plays a significant role in this aspect is the oil seal. Often, various standards and specifications define how these seals should perform, and one notable approach to categorizing oil seals is the 40% - 80% - 10% concept.

1. Preventing Fluid Leakage One of the primary functions of wheel oil seals is to prevent lubricant loss. When oil leaks from the system, it can lead to reduced lubrication, increasing wear and tear on components and possibly resulting in severe mechanical failures.
