3. Proper Alignment Make sure the seal is aligned correctly to avoid distortion, which could result in premature failure.
- U-Cup Seals Shaped like the letter U, these seals provide excellent sealing capabilities for low to medium pressures. They are particularly effective in dynamic applications, where they can maintain a consistent seal against the piston even under motion.
At the core of hydraulic systems, hydraulic seals serve several essential functions. They are primarily used to separate different sections of hydraulic equipment, preventing the escape of hydraulic fluid and minimizing contamination. This containment is crucial because even minor leaks can lead to significant losses in performance and efficiency, not to mention increased operating costs and environmental concerns.
5. Install New Seals Take your new seal from the hydraulic seal kit and lubricate it with hydraulic oil. Carefully press the new seal into the grooves, ensuring it sits evenly and correctly.
