Crankshaft oil seal sealing principle: 1. Since there is an oil film controlled by the oil seal edge between the oil seal and the shaft, the oil film has fluid lubrication characteristics. Under the action of the surface tension of the liquid, the rigidity of the oil film just makes the oil film and the air contact end form a crescent surface, preventing the leakage of the working medium, thus realizing the sealing of the rotating shaft; 2. The sealing ability of the oil seal depends on the oil film on the sealing surface If the thickness is too large, the oil seal will leak; if the thickness is too small, dry friction may occur, causing the oil seal and shaft to wear; if there is no oil film between the sealing lip and the shaft, it is easy to cause heat and wear; 3. Therefore, during installation, it must be Apply some oil to the sealing ring, and at the same time ensure that the skeleton oil seal is perpendicular to the axis line. If it is not perpendicular, the sealing lip of the oil seal will drain the lubricating oil from the shaft, which will also cause excessive wear of the sealing lip. During operation, the lubricant in the casing seeps out a little, so that it is ideal to form an oil film on the sealing surface.
