2. Contaminant Protection Grease seals act as a first line of defense against contaminants. Dust, water, and debris can enter the bearing assembly and potentially lead to corrosion, pitting, and other forms of wear. By keeping these contaminants out, grease seals help maintain the integrity of the bearings.
The 20x35x7 oil seal is widely used across several sectors, including automotive, industrial machinery, and aerospace. In automotive applications, it is commonly found in various components, such as engines, transmissions, and differentials. For instance, it effectively seals crankshafts and camshafts, ensuring that lubricants do not leak and that contaminants cannot enter the engine.
If seals wear out or become damaged, it can lead to hydraulic fluid leakage, resulting in reduced efficiency, increased downtime, and costly repairs. Furthermore, contaminated hydraulic fluid can cause severe damage to the entire hydraulic system, leading to more extensive operational issues.
