When installed, the oil seal’s flexible lip is placed against the rotating shaft, and the casing is pushed into the housing for support. It is crucial that the sealing lip is lubricated to avoid overheating caused by friction.

Names and functions of seal components
Carefully lift off the cover. If it sticks, gently tap it sideways with a soft-faced rawhide or nylon hammer, or with the heel of your hand.
Because of the higher temperature resistance of FKM, this material is also chosen for applications where higher speeds play a role, which raise the temperature at the sealing lip considerably. Usually, using FKM will result in a longer life than using NBR. This compensates the higher price of FKM compared to NBR, as an FKM does not have to be replaced as frequently. The low temperature resistance of standard FKM is limited to -15 ˚C.
Is the seal you need not available from one of our standard ranges? No problem. We design and supply seals in any material, size and quantity - from very small to very large volumes.
Description
Heavy Duty Wheel Seals and Agricultural Equipment Seals can be divided into AP type, CRS type and ST type. Mainly be used in heavy pollution of agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mining equipment and trucks, buses and other environments. Compared to TC type, with special internal lubrication design, making it closed to the rotary shaft seal and bearing assembly which prevent external dirt effectively; a specially designed multi-lip inside the seal, makes it to achieve the function. Multiple external sealing lip design effectively prevents outside dirt and grease leakage immersion; the internal high-quality grease (butter) prevents muddy and water immersion.
It is generally used in the union of two lubricated parts, so that it hermetically seals both sides. Therefore, it guarantees the proper engine operation and helps to maintain the vehicle’s distribution system in better condition.
