Installation of Radial Shaft Seal: Complete Video Series
Video by Seals-Shop.com
This video offers a detailed guide on installing a radial oil seal. It covers all the necessary steps, from inspecting the seal and housing to using the right tools and techniques. The video also emphasizes the importance of proper seal alignment and lubrication to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Here are some key points from the video:
Inspect the seal and housing carefully for any defects. This includes checking the seal for tears, nicks, and damage to the outer diameter. The bore and housing should also be examined for burrs, roughness, and chamfers.
Use the correct tools for installation. This may include a seal installation tool, a press, and an assembly sleeve.
Lubricate the seal and shaft lip before installation. This helps to reduce wear and extend the service life of the seal.
Install the seal in the correct direction. The primary lip should face in the same direction as the old seal.
Avoid angular misalignment. The seal should be installed perpendicular to the centerline of the bore.
Use a soft-faced mallet and strike plate to install the seal.
Check the seal alignment after installation.
This video is a valuable resource for anyone who needs to install a radial oil seal. It provides clear and concise instructions that will help you to complete the job correctly and safely.

Seals designed to sit flush with the housing bore wall should be installed perpendicular to the housing bore axis. The installation tool's outer diameter should exceed the housing bore diameter. For seals pressed against shoulders or retaining rings, tools are recommended. On stepped shafts without the necessary chamfer or rounded transition, use an installation sleeve. To prevent lip damage when seals pass over grooves, threads, or gearing, thin-walled installation sleeves are ideal. Lubricate the sleeve's outer surface with the same lubricant used for the seal and counterface.

When installing a seal in a split housing, the seal can act as a mounting tool. However, ensure it's mounted perpendicular to the housing bore axis. For stepped shafts without the recommended chamfer or rounded transition, use an installation sleeve (see Figure 4). Thin-walled installation sleeves are ideal for seals that need to pass over grooves, threads, or gearing, preventing lip damage. Lubricate the sleeve's outer surface with the same lubricant used for the seal and counterface. Always use an installation sleeve when installing silicone rubber radial shaft seals.
