Oil seals work by creating a tight seal around the rotating shaft. This prevents oil and other fluids from escaping while allowing the shaft to rotate smoothly. The seal is usually made up of a lip that fits snugly against the shaft, preventing any leaks from occurring. Some oil seals also have additional features, such as springs or gaskets, to provide extra support and ensure a secure fit.
When it comes to replacing the seals in a hydraulic cylinder, it is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use the correct seal kit for the specific cylinder
. Using the wrong seals can result in leaks, reduced performance, or even damage to the cylinder itself.
