Oil seal spring
Before talking about the oil seal spring, we first understand the basic function of the oil seal, the main role of the oil seal is to prevent the oil or liquid from leaking from the inside of the machine to the outside, so as to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities into the inside of the machine to ensure the normal work of the machine.
As an important sealing part, the oil seal spring plays the role of fixing and sealing.It is a special design of the spring, mainly used in the oil seal to enhance the sealing effect and stability of the oil seal. An oil seal spring is essentially a helical spring connected at both ends, which forms a circle to provide a strong radial force.Oil-seal springs are essentially tension springs or compression springs, because they can withstand forces from all directions, so they can effectively handle changes in volume, pressure, temperature and viscosity.
The oil seal spring is a circle rolled by a spiral spring, and the two ends are connected to each other. When the radius of the Oil-seal springincreases，The spring will exert a radial force towards the center，This force helps maintain the tightness of the oil seal.
How do you measure an oil seal spring
The structure of the oil seal spring is relatively simple, but the design is very exquisite, and it is usually made of highly elastic metal materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure stable elasticity and corrosion resistance during long-term use.
Function of oil seal spring:
- Enhanced sealing: The seal spring will prevent leakage of lubricating oil or other fluids by providing a continuous radial force that keeps the seal in close contact with the shaft.
- Compensation for wear: With the use of the equipment, there will be wear between the oil seal and the shaft. The elasticity of the Oil-seal spring can compensate for this wear and effectively ensure that the oil seal can maintain an effective sealing effect during long-term use.
- Adapt to changes in temperature: In the working environment with large temperature changes, the elasticity of the Oil-seal spring can adapt to changes in the size of the oil seal and maintain stable sealing performance.
Oil seal spring features:
High elasticity:
The Oil-seal spring has high elasticity and can quickly recover under the action of external force.
Corrosion resistance
The Oil-seal spring made of high-quality metal materials has good corrosion resistance and can be used in harsh working environments for a long time.
Good stability
The design of the Oil-seal spring is reasonable, the structure is stable, and the sealing effect can be maintained in the long-term use.
Maintenance and maintenance of oil seal spring:
Regular inspection
Check the oil seal spring regularly to observe whether there is deformation, fracture or damage, and replace the oil seal spring in time if the problem is found.
Replacement cycle
According to the use of the equipment and the wear of the oil seal spring to determine the replacement cycle, under normal circumstances, it is recommended to replace it regularly as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Cleaning and maintenance
Keep the oil seal spring and its surrounding environment clean and dry, can effectively avoid dust, impurities and other pollutants into the oil seal and affect the sealing effect.
Oil seal spring is one of the indispensable sealing components in mechanical equipment. Through reasonable selection, correct installation and regular maintenance of oil seal spring, the sealing performance of equipment can be ensured to be stable and reliable, thus extending the service life.
