ROTATING SHAFT SEALS
To correctly install rotating shaft seals, observe the following instructions:
– Let the seal soak into the same oil as it will seal for at least half an hour before mounting.
– Thoroughly clean the shaft and ensure that the shaft working surface is not damaged
– Place the sealing lip towards the fluid. In case of a hydrodynamic lip, consider the shaft rotation direction and orient grooves in order that they deviate the fluid towards the inner side of the seal.
– Coat the sealing lip with a thin layer of lubricant (oil rather than grease) and fill with grease the gap between the sealing lip and the dust lip of double lip seals; – Insert the seal into its seat and press it down using a flat punch. Do no tap the seal with a hammer or a drift.
– Take care to insert the seal perpendicularly to its seat while you are pressing it. Once the seal is settled, ensure that it contacts the thrust element if required.
– To prevent damaging the sealing lip against the shaft, place a suitable protection during installation.
