EFFECT OF QUANTITY OF LUBRICATION OIL ON SEALING CHARACTERISTICS OF OIL SEALS

The sealing characteristics of oil seals are discussed as affected by the quantity of lubricating oil supplied. The necessary minimum quantity of oil for preventing wear of the seal lip is investigated. A decrease in sealing characteristics is found to occur when insufficient oil is supplied to the seal lip portion. A suggested countermeasure is a thin specially compounded polytetrafluoroethylene layer bonded to the rubbing surface of the seal lip; careful fitting on the shaft is essential as the seal lip edge of this oil seal is more easily flawed than that of rubber material.
