Oil seals are commonly used sealing elements in mechanical equipment. They can effectively prevent lubricating oil leakage and protect the internal parts of the equipment from pollution and wear. In order to ensure the normal operation of the oil seal and extend its service life, the following are some important maintenance and care tips:

Check the oil seal regularly: Check the appearance of the oil seal regularly to check whether there are cracks, deformation or wear. If any problems are found, the oil seal should be replaced in time.

Keep it clean: Keep the area around the oil seal clean to prevent dust, oil and other impurities from entering the oil seal and affecting its sealing performance.

Proper installation: When installing the oil seal, ensure that the installation position is correct and avoid forced installation or using inappropriate tools to avoid damaging the oil seal.

Pay attention to lubrication: For oil seals that need lubrication, use appropriate lubricants and lubricate them according to the prescribed cycle.

Avoid overload: Avoid overloading the equipment to prevent the oil seal from being damaged by excessive pressure.

Prevent corrosion: For oil seals used in corrosive environments, choose corrosion-resistant materials and take corresponding protective measures.

Replace regularly: The service life of the oil seal is limited, and the oil seal should be replaced regularly according to the use of the equipment and the manufacturer's recommendations.

Correct storage: When storing oil seals, avoid direct sunlight, humidity and high temperature environments to avoid affecting their performance.
