2. Protecting Against Contamination Wheel oil seals act as barriers against external contaminants. Dust, dirt, and moisture can enter wheel assemblies if seals fail, leading to corrosion and degradation of components. Keeping these harmful agents at bay is essential for maintaining the health of the vehicle.
Additionally, axle hub seals act as barriers to contaminants
. Dirt, mud, and moisture are inevitable in many driving conditions, especially for off-road vehicles. If these contaminants penetrate the axle housing, they can cause significant damage by mixing with the lubricant, leading to increased wear and tear, corrosion, and ultimately, catastrophic failure of the axle system.One of the primary characteristics of high temperature oil seals is their ability to maintain flexibility and resilience at elevated temperatures. Traditional rubber seals may become brittle and lose their sealing capabilities when exposed to heat. In contrast, high temperature oil seals retain their mechanical properties, ensuring that they continue to perform their sealing function effectively even in harsh conditions. Typically, these seals can withstand temperatures ranging from 150°C to over 300°C, depending on the specific material used.
