What is the meaning of an oil seal? What is its function?
1 Answers
Oil seal means: An oil seal is a mechanical component used to seal oil (oil is the most common liquid substance in transmission systems, and also generally refers to liquid substances). It isolates the parts that need lubrication in the transmission components from the output parts, preventing the leakage of lubricating oil. Its functions include the following points: 1. Prevent oil leakage through rubber oil seal covers and oil seal gaskets; 2. Restore the elasticity of rubber oil seals, protecting oil seals, O-rings, and other elastic components. 3. Prevent oil from being sucked into the combustion chamber, reducing and preventing smoke emissions. 4. Reduce engine noise and improve engine compression ratio. 5. Extend the service life of the engine and prevent expensive repair costs. 6. Effectively suppress oil leakage in the steering gear.
