made of a yieldable resilient material having flat sealing faces and comprising two ring portions connected together by an annular portion substantially v-shaped in cross-section which may yield or expand as the mounting requires.
The oil seal would seal one face against a rotating member and the other face to a stationary housing. It would prevent dirt from coming between the hub or shaft and the seal.
The garter spring is located at the end of the primary sealing lip and used to apply pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft. Common garter spring material types are:
Some aspects to consider when selecting this component are:
Floating oil seals are essential components used in various industries to prevent leakage of oil and other fluids. These seals are designed to float on the surface of the oil, creating a barrier that keeps the oil contained within a system. They are commonly used in gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and other machinery where the potential for oil leakage is a concern.
