1. Choose Right Seal:
Choose a seal that fits the specific shaft diameter and application requirements.
2. Prepare the Shaft:
Ensure that the shaft is clean, smooth, and free from any damage or burrs.
3. Apply Adhesive (If Needed):
Some rotary seals require an adhesive to ensure a proper seal. Apply a thin coat of adhesive to the shaft, following the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Install the Spring (If Applicable):
If your rotary seal has a spring, make sure it is properly seated in its groove.
5. Insert the Seal:
Carefully insert the rotary seal into the housing or bore, ensuring that it is properly aligned with the shaft.
6. Press the Seal In Place:
Use a suitable press or tool to press the seal firmly into place. Make sure not to damage the seal or the housing.
7. Secure the Seal:
If necessary, use retaining rings, O-rings, or other locking mechanisms to secure the seal in place.
8. Test the Seal:
Perform a test run of the equipment to verify that the seal is functioning properly. Check for any signs of leakage or damage.
9. Make Adjustments:
If necessary, make adjustments to the seal's position or tension to achieve the desired sealing performance.
