Where is the axle shaft oil seal located?

[LaGideon]

The axle shaft oil seal is located on the axle shaft, which is the solid shaft between the differential output end and the wheel. Below is an introduction to the axle shaft oil seal: 1. Impact of axle shaft oil seal leakage: The axle shaft is used to transmit torque from the differential side gear to the drive wheels or side reducer. If the axle shaft oil seal leaks, it will reduce the amount of lubricating oil in the drive axle, affecting normal lubrication, accelerating machine wear, and causing damage. Lubricating oil entering the side reducer will raise the oil level in the side reducer, pressurize the oil seal, flow into the brake drum, resulting in poor braking and affecting driving safety. 2. Function: In automotive mechanisms where rolling bearings or sliding bearings are installed, oil seals are required to prevent oil or grease leakage, keep out dust or sludge, and maintain good lubrication of rolling or sliding friction components, thereby extending service life.
