Countermeasures For Oil Leakage Caused By Loose Oil Seal

1. Master and identify the basic knowledge of counterfeit and inferior products, and choose high-quality and standard oil seals.
2. During installation, if the outer surface roughness of the shaft diameter is low or there are defects such as rust spots, rust, and burrs, it should be polished smooth with a fine sandcloth or oilstone; Apply clean engine oil or lubricating grease to the corresponding position of the oil seal lip or shaft diameter. Apply sealant to the outer ring of the oil seal, wrap the keyway area on the shaft with hard paper to avoid scratching the oil seal lip. Use a special tool to rotate the oil seal inward and press it in. Do not forcefully hit or punch it to prevent the oil seal from deforming or breaking the spring and becoming ineffective; If there is lip flipping, spring detachment, and oil seal misalignment, it must be removed and reinstalled. It should be noted that when the shaft diameter is not worn and the oil seal spring has sufficient elasticity, do not tighten the inner spring without authorization.
3. When oil seals used in machinery work under harsh conditions, large environmental temperature differences, high dust levels, and frequent machine vibrations that constantly change the stress conditions of the components, they should be inspected, maintained, and serviced frequently.
4. If the shaft diameter and bearings are severely worn; Oil seal rubber aging or spring failure should be repaired and corresponding components replaced in a timely manner.
5. Malfunctions should be promptly resolved for components or assemblies that generate abnormal heat; Avoid mechanical overspeed and overload operation to prevent oil seal lip temperature increase, rubber aging, early lip wear, etc.
6. Regularly check the oil level. If there are too many impurities in the oil, such as alloy powder or metal filings, it is necessary to thoroughly replace the oil with a new one. The brand and quality of the oil to be changed must meet the seasonal requirements. It is recommended to add Metre Super Sealant&Lubricant to the engine oil, which is an excellent gearbox additive that can form an inert material film on the components. It can slow down oil seal leakage, extend the service life of oil sealed gears, and also reduce gearbox noise. The use of this Metre Super Sealant Lubricant will not cause pollution or deterioration of the oil.
