Oil seals play a vital role in the efficient operation of machinery and equipment by preventing the leakage of oil or other fluids. One commonly used type of oil seal is the 65x90x10 oil seal, which is designed to fit a specific shaft size of 65mm, an outer diameter of 90mm, and a thickness of 10mm. These seals are typically made from rubber or other flexible materials that can withstand the harsh conditions often found in machinery.

When a seal is angularly misaligned – or cocked on the shaft – an irreversible process begins. Excessive pressure on one section of the seal, when not installed properly, can cause the spring to become dislodged or the seal to heat up and become brittle through excessive wear, both leading to a premature failure.

In conclusion, the piston oil seal is a critical component in an internal combustion engine. It plays a vital role in preventing oil leakage, reducing friction, and ensuring efficient engine operation. Regular inspection and maintenance of the piston oil seal are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of the engine.
