Oil Seal Installation illustrate for European and American markets
When it involves a repair, you must first remove the old oil seal. To remove an oil seal, it is important to use the right tools to avoid damaging the shaft and bore.
The best solution is therefore to pull out the oil seal without having to completely dismantle the shaft. This can be done by making a few holes in the oil seal with an awl and a hammer.
You can then use a hook to pull the oil seal out of its seat.
You could also screw some screws into the holes and then slowly pull out the screws to extract the oil seal from its housing. Be careful not to damage the shaft or housing in the process.
If the shaft or housing gets damaged, it must be repaired. If you replace only the oil seal, but the shaft or bore remain damaged, then there is a chance of premature failure or leakage.
You can easily repair the shaft, for example using an SKF Speedi-Sleeve.
Successful assembly first requires careful preparation. By following a few simple steps, you significantly increase the chances of a flawless assembly.
Oil seal is a device used to seal a rotating shaft, usually installed in mechanical equipment. The following are the general installation directions and methods for oil seals:
1. Direction selection: Oil seals usually have an inner lip and an outer lip. The inner lip is responsible for sealing lubricating oil or grease, while the outer lip is responsible for preventing dust and pollutants from entering. In general, the inner lip should face the lubrication area and the outer lip should face the environment.
2. Preparation: Before installing the oil seal, ensure that the shaft surface and installation hole are clean and free of scratches or burrs. You can use cleaning agents and cloth for cleaning.
3. Lubrication: Before installing the oil seal, apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil or grease to the oil seal lip to reduce friction and wear during installation.
4. Installation: Gently slide the oil seal into the installation hole. If necessary, you can use special tools or a light hammer to assist in installation. Ensure that the oil seal is not twisted or damaged during installation.
5. Positioning: Use the specified installation depth and position to correctly install the oil seal on the shaft. You can refer to the technical specifications or guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer to ensure accurate positioning.
6. Inspection: After installation, check whether the oil seal is flat and vertical, and ensure that there is no damage or incorrect installation.
