Thank you for the informative video. When installing an automotive rear main seal I see differing opinions of whether to apply grease to the inner lip of a rubber seal with a dust lip. As this gap or trough of the seal doesn't ride on the shaft I'm wondering if grease is simply to avoid damage during installation or would grease actually serve a purpose when in service? For example, better sealing or reducing temperature. I typically just use a bit of motor oil for installation.
Thank you for reaching out with your question. Grease is often applied to the inner lip of a rubber seal primarily to prevent damage during installation. It can also aid in better sealing and reducing friction, which may help in temperature management. Using motor oil is also a common practice for installation. If you have further questions, feel free to ask!
Hello, we can offer rotary shaft seals up to 500 mm ID. You can check the range on the link: tameson.com/collections/rotary-shaft-seals. If you need any additional info, please contact our support team.
Very interesting video, Thank you. I am looking at shaft seals as a better way of sealing the steering column lower shaft where it passes through the steel bulkhead on a bespoke car I am building. I am guessing that I will need some thin wall tube to locate the OD of the shaft seal and the ID will take the lower column. Kind regards Paul from 48SPOKES (UK)
