Causes and Maintenance Methods of IKO Bearing Oil Seal Oil Leakage


IKO bearings are often used in agricultural machinery and various types of machinery and equipment, and are important components. However, some users of IKO bearings have caused IKO bearings to be scrapped due to leakage of oil seals. This situation has seriously affected the working efficiency of various mechanical equipment, not only increasing fuel consumption and production costs, but also polluting the environment.

First, the working principle of IKO bearing oil seal

1. In the free state, the inner diameter of the oil seal lip is smaller than the shaft diameter and has a certain amount of interference.

2. After installation, the interference pressure of the oil seal edge and the contraction force of the self-tightening spring generate a certain radial pressure on the rotating shaft.

3. When working, the seal lip forms a 0.25 to 0.5 mm wide seal contact ring under radial pressure. Under the effect of lubricating oil pressure, oil penetrates between the edge of the oil seal and the shaft to form a very thin layer of oil film. The internal friction of the lubricant at the contact point and the stirring and squeezing of the lubricant are affected by the surface tension of the oil. A “crescent” surface is formed along the outer edge of the shaft and the edge of the oil seal to prevent oil spillage and seal. .

Second, the main factors causing IKO bearing oil seal leakage:

Strict sealing of the oil seal is the main cause of oil leakage. When the shaft is worn to form a groove, even if the replacement of the new oil seal fails to seal, the contact pressure between the lip of the oil seal and the shaft is reduced, and the interference of the oil seal lip diameter and shaft diameter after installation is too small. Now take the S195 diesel engine crankshaft oil seal as an example, analysis of the main reasons for its poor sealing are: 1 oil seal manufacturing quality is poor; 2-shaft or IKO bearing quality is poor; 3 improper use and maintenance; IKO bearing measurement error does not mean that inspection tolerance can be Relaxation 10% 4 Improper installation; 5 Improper storage, adversely affected by environmental pollution.

Third, the oil seal is not strict and oil leakage measures

1, master and identify the basic knowledge of shoddy products, buy high-quality, standard oil seals.

2. When installing, if the shaft surface roughness is low or there are rust, rust, burrs and other defects, use a fine emery cloth or whetstone polished smooth; Apply oil or grease to the seal lip or shaft diameter corresponding position. The outer seal of the oil seal is coated with a sealant, and the keyway portion of the shaft is wrapped with stiff paper to avoid scratching the lip of the seal, and the oil seal is rotated inward with a special tool. The hard seal cannot be used to prevent deformation of the seal. Or break the spring and fail; if there is a lip flange, spring off and oil seal skew must be removed and re-installed. It should be noted that when the shaft diameter is not worn and the spring force of the oil seal spring is sufficient, do not tighten the inner spring without authorization.

3. When oil seals applied to agricultural machinery generally have poor working conditions, large temperature difference in environment, lots of dust, and frequent machine vibrations, the mechanical conditions of the parts are constantly changing, and they must be inspected, maintained, and maintained.

4, if the shaft diameter and IKO bearing wear serious; oil seal rubber aging or spring failure, etc., should be promptly repaired and replaced the corresponding parts.

5, the abnormal heating components or assemblies should be promptly troubleshooting; to avoid mechanical overspeed, overload operation, to prevent the oil seal lip temperature, rubber aging, early wear lips and so on.

6, always check the oil level, if the oil impurities too much, there are alloy powder, metal iron shavings to completely replace the new oil. The brand and quality of the replaced oil must meet the requirements of the season.

7. Oil seals that are not used temporarily should be properly stored to prevent them from being exposed to oil, dust, or sun exposure.

8, when the shaft diameter wear into a "V"-shaped groove, so that the new oil seal lip and shaft contact pressure can not play a sealing role, you can use AR-5 a two-component adhesive Glue, both simple and reliable and wear . Oil seal displacement can also be used to make up for.
