Things To Note When Transporting And Assembling Common Oil Seals

Oil seals are precision components. Improper assembly and storage will affect their performance. The following should be noted when transporting and storing oil seals:

(1) Do not open the original packaging, pay attention to whether the packaging is damaged, and try to keep the oil seal in the original packaging before assembly;
(2) Avoid direct sunlight and do not place it near high temperature heat sources, as this will cause rubber aging;
(3) Oil seals must not be scattered at will, pay attention to dust and soil prevention, and ensure that the oil seals are in a closed or covered state;
(4) When transporting and using oil seals, in order to prevent the oil seals from deforming and the springs from falling off, please do not give excessive impact;
(5) Oil seals must not be tied with thin ropes, nor hung on nails or metal wires, which will damage the sealing lip;
(6) Oil seals must not be placed in humid places, which will cause metal parts to rust;
(7) Do not place seals near TVs and places that produce ozone;
(8) Do not rub the lip end with your fingernails or hard objects to prevent damage to the sealing lip;

When assembling oil seals, no matter how suitable the design of the installation part of the oil seal and the selection of the oil seal are, if the assembly is rough, the oil seal cannot fully exert its intended function.

(1) When installing the oil seal, the outer surface should be coated with appropriate lubricant, and the lip should be coated with suitable clean grease. For oil seals with dustproof lips, the main and auxiliary lips should be filled with suitable clean grease before assembly.
(2) The sealing lip end of the oil seal should be facing the sealing medium side, and reverse assembly should be avoided.
(3) When the oil seal is inserted into the seat hole, a special tool should be used to push it in to prevent the position from being skewed.
(4) Various measures should be taken to prevent the lip from being damaged at the threads, keyways, splines, etc. where the oil seal lip passes, and special tools should be used for assembly.
(5) The oil seal should be placed horizontally in the seat hole and evenly pressurized. Do not force it in at an angle.
