How to Measure and Identify Oil Seals

图片
Replacing critical components can be difficult to do correctly, especially if you don't have the original machine specifications. Thankfully, there are several ways to identify   oil seals ; from their design, size and material. Since there are hundreds of different oil seals on the market, this guide will cover the four most common design types. Single Lip vs. Double Lip First, the oil seals covered in this guide categorize a single lip as the inside diameter of the bottom of the assembly. The single lip contains oil, grease or lubricant and is critical to the function of the seal. The only difference between a single lip and a double lip is the additional rubber lip on the top of the oil seal that helps keep dirt or grime from getting close to the shaft.  The identification of the oil seal lip may be misinterpreted by visual inspection only. Or for this reason, you should press along the inside diameter of the top of the oil seal and if you feel a slight bulge or a slight mo...

Importance of Quality Selection about Oil Seals

Modern transmissions work hard, so shouldn't their oil seals do the same? Poor quality seals are one of the top reasons for diagnosing transmission fluid leaks, and it can damage the unit beyond repair. In a running automotive system, you should never underestimate the value of a well-made   oil seal .   In today's article, we'll discuss the importance of quality selection when it comes to transmission oil seals. Causes and Effects A transmission may contain dozens of seal components, all with a specific purpose. If even one of these seals fails, the transmission in the vehicle will begin to leak transmission fluid. However, a leaking transmission is not a simple problem in itself; a leaking seal can quickly lead to many other problems, including a complete transmission burnout. Static seals, such as a simple  O-ring ,  fit between two stationary parts, while more complex dynamic seals have multiple lips that act as a barrier between stationary and moving parts. Over...

Professional Testing Method of Oil Seal Performance

Automotive oil seal ,  commonly known as valve oil seal, is one of the rotary seals. It has good elasticity, low compression deformation and aging resistance, but the rubber seal material must be adapted to the working conditions of the car, the type of medium, working pressure, temperature and application status and other conditions. Automotive oil seals prevent oil from entering the intake and exhaust pipes, causing oil loss, preventing gasoline and air mixture and emission exhaust gas leakage , and preventing engine oil from entering the combustion chamber. The valve oil seal is one of the important parts of the engine valve set, which is in contact with gasoline and oil at high temperature, so it needs to be made of materials with excellent heat resistance and oil resistance, usually fluoroelastomer. In addition to fluoroelastomer, NBR, silicone rubber, acrylate rubber, polyurethane and PTFE are also commonly used materials. The representative form of oil seal is  TC oil s...

What Is the Function of Skeleton Oil Seal

The role of the  skeleton oil seal  is generally to isolate the parts that need lubrication in the transmission parts from the output parts so as not to leak the lubricant.   Rotary shaft, a rotary shaft lip seal. The skeleton is just like the reinforcing steel inside the concrete structure, which plays a reinforcing role and allows the oil seal to maintain its shape and tension. According to the skeleton type, it can be divided into inner skeleton oil seal, outer skeleton oil seal, and inner and outer skeleton oil seal. The skeleton oil seal is made of high-quality nitrile rubber and steel plate, with stable quality and long service life. Widely used in automobiles, motorcycle crankshafts, camshafts, differentials, shock absorbers, engines, axles, front and rear wheels and other parts.   1. Prevent sediment, dust, moisture, etc. from invading the bearing from the outside;   2. Limit the leakage of oil in the bearing. The requirements for oil seals are that the ...

What Factors May Cause A Leaking Oil Seal

Automobiles rely on rotating parts to transfer engine momentum to the wheels via the transmission. These components are made of materials such as hardened steel, cast iron, aluminium or other such alloys. However,  oil seals  are necessary so that engine oil and transmission oil remain in foreign bodies outside the transmission system. Oil seals perform sealing applications in gearboxes and prevent leakage of non-pressure fluids and grease. Oil seals are usually low cost, but if they are to be replaced they can be costly in terms of labour. Here we look at what are some of the common causes of oil seal leaks.   Driveline problems If the driveshaft or drive axle is damaged, the transmission seals will start to leak. When a driveshaft or drive axle is damaged, bent or loose, the shaft will experience excessive vibration and uneven shaft wear. Defective U-joints or rear wheel drive vehicles can cause this to happen.   Seals become dry Oil seals are usually made of ...

What is the relationship between additives and auto oil seals?

Today's cars are getting more and more powerful, but still retain the convenient dimensions for the chaotic world we live in. As cars get more demanding, the engine has to do more while trying to hit efficiency targets, thanks to the engine oil we put in to keep the car ticking. Adverse effects of oil on auto oil seal Today's cars are getting more and more powerful, but still retain the convenient dimensions for the chaotic world we live in. As cars get more demanding, the engine has to do more while trying to hit efficiency targets, thanks to the engine oil we put in to keep the car ticking. However, while this oil is good for many components within the engine, it can also cause a lot of damage to components like auto oil seal . Oil additives are chemical components that improve the lubricating properties of base oils. These additives are essential for proper lubrication and long-term use of engine oils in modern internal combustion engines. Without many of these, oil can beco...

What Types of Seals Are In My Car?

You might be surprised at the places you ’ll find seals like the ones we design and manufacture at KDIK. Our seals are used in truck, trains, and yes, you guessed it — automobiles. KDIK specializes in manufacturing auto oil seal  that can withstand extreme temperatures and environments, which is a critical capability when it comes to the countless mechanical operations we rely on everyday, especially in the inner workings of our cars. Seals help keep everything in your car in working order, from the mechanisms under your hood to your wheels and trunk. They also prevent leakage, keeping oil, coolant. And there are even seals around your doors and windows to keep the rain, snow, and cold (or hot) air out, helping to maintain the interior comfort of your car. Let’s take a deeper dive into some of the parts of your car where seals make all the difference.   Engine Without a doubt, the engine is the most important part of any car. It’s the heart of the automobile, and seals are cri...
