Typical Applications of Oil Seal Springs
Oil seal springs serve as critical sealing components with important roles across multiple industrial sectors
1Basic Introduction to Oil Seal Springs
Oil seal springs are annular springs installed on oil seal lips, primarily providing continuous radial force to ensure tight contact between the seal lip and shaft surface, preventing lubricant leakage and external contamination.
✓Core Function
Provides continuous radial pressure, compensates for seal lip wear, ensuring long-term effective sealing.
✓Material Properties
Typically made of stainless steel or special alloys, featuring corrosion resistance, high temperature tolerance, and fatigue resistance.
✓Design Advantages
Compact structure, easy installation, adaptable to various shaft diameters and operating conditions.
2Automotive Industry Applications
