Common Problems With Hydraulic Seals

Nov 20, 2023 Leave a message

We need to pay special attention to three items when installing hydraulic seals

1. Do not damage the sealing surface or sealing line of the hydraulic seal surface

The sealing performance of hydraulic seals relies on the upper and lower end faces; The sealing performance of hydraulic seals depends on the lip line related to the hole or shaft, which is composed of special materials such as graphite, rubber, and fiber that are both soft and elastic, resistant to temperature, corrosion, and aging. Therefore, special protection and care are needed during transportation, installation, and maintenance. Once damaged, it often leaves a great hidden danger to the sealing area.

2. Do not force installation

Some seals are placed in groove shaped packing boxes, which require tight fitting and installation. During construction, they should not be rough or rough. Forceful installation with large movements will inevitably damage the original prefabricated structure of the seals, just like crushing precast concrete and filling the required parts will inevitably lead to disaster. The installation of such seals must be very careful and careful, and the insertion must be carried out step by step.

3. Pay attention to balance and symmetry during installation

Place the seal in a position that is exactly in contact with the effective sealing surface (or lip line). After the system is put into use, further observation and follow-up work on tightening the seals are needed to prevent micro leaks caused by changes in operating conditions (such as pressurization) during the system's operation.
