ENGINEERING SEAL OUTSIDE DIAMETER TOLERANCE • SEAL WIDTH TOLERANCE SHAFT MISALIGNMENT AND RUN-OUT Shaft misalignment and run-out will affect the efficiency and durability of an oil seal. Acceptable misalignment is dependent on shaft speed, shaft diameter, oil seal material and model type. Acceptable misalignment, in regards to seal diameter and basic shaft speed, can be found in the below diagram. This diagram should be used as a general guide to determine permissible seal misalignment. If large amounts of shaft misalignment and run-out are present in your application, please contact your...

SPECIAL HOUSING DESIGNS OIL SEAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS • SPECIAL HOUSING DESIGNS OIL SEAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS When designing the housing, it is important to consider ease of seal installation. The two diagrams below illustrate common housing designs. No matter how you design the housing, you must ensure that all components are referenced off of the same datum plane so that the oil seal is not installed at an angle. Without a datum plane, a high internal pressure or light-metal housing may cause leakage. In such a case, an end plate can be used to firmly fix the seal. See Fig. 7 above....

ENGINEERING INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS INSTALLATION METHOD 1. The shaft and housing dimensions should be checked prior to installation. 2. The oil seal inside diameter (I.D.), outside diameter (O.D.), and width dimensions should also be checked prior to installation. 3. The end surfaces of the shaft and housing should be inspected for damage and proper chamfer before installation. 4. The oil seal lip must be inspected for damage or deformation. Also, ensure that the spring is located behind the main lip and that it is not rusted. Before the seal is fitted to the...

ENGINEERING INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS AFTER INSTALLATION 1. Do not clean the seal. 2. If the equipment must be painted, the seal lip riding surface on the shaft must be free from paint. 3. Do not reuse removed seals. Used seals must be discarded. 4. After the seal has been installed, optimum seal performance is not achieved until the seal has been broken-in during operation. If the shaft has a thread/keyway, the seal riding surface diameter needs to be larger than the diameter of the thread/keyway. If this is not possible, then a tool must be used to facilitate the oil seal...

ENGINEERING ORDERING ORDERING For standard seals located in this catalog, please reference the example part numbers below. If there are any questions regarding part numbers or special order seals, feel free to contact your Timken sales engineer. See Figs. 16 and 17 below. Model Type This model type is a rubber O.D. seal with one spring loaded sealing lip. With only one sealing lip, this seal can either retain lubricant or exclude contaminants depending on orientation. It cannot do both simultaneously. Model Type This model type is a rubber O.D. seal with two sealing lips. The main sealing...
