4. Contaminant Protection Seals act as barriers against dust, dirt, and other contaminants, which can compromise the performance of the hydraulic system. Keeping these elements out protects internal components and ensures smooth operation.

Competition among manufacturers is another critical aspect. In a crowded market, companies may engage in price wars to capture market share, leading to lower prices. However, this can negatively affect product quality if manufacturers cut corners to reduce costs. Therefore, while competition can benefit consumers through lower prices, it also raises concerns regarding the reliability and longevity of cheaper oil seals.

4. Proper Installation When replacing seals, ensure they are installed correctly to prevent premature failure. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for torque specifications and installation techniques.

4. Dust Covers These covers are typically used to shield sensitive equipment from dust when not in use. They can be made from various materials and can be designed for quick removal and installation.
