Heavy Duty Wheel Seals

1. Suitable for trucks, buses, trailers, and off-road applications.

2. Independent additional axial and radial dust lips.

3. Patented spring-loaded axial scale removal sealing lip.

4. Traditional "R-Safe" sealing lip configuration.

5. Use a stainless steel oil linger as the running surface of the iron shell national standard seal.

6. Elastic materials optimized for friction.

7. It can reduce power loss, improve fuel efficiency, and has the advantage of low friction.

8. Long service life, long startup time, and low operating cost.

Function

The main function of heavy duty wheel seals is to prevent lubricating oil or butter and other substances inside the wheels from leaking when the car is running. At the same time, it prevents external dust, dirt, and water from entering the inside of the wheels, and keeps the wheels clean and lubricated. In addition, wheel seals can also reduce air resistance when the car is driving, improving the car's fuel economy and driving stability.

1. Wheel axle seal: The wheel axle of a heavy-duty vehicle is a key component connecting the wheels to the vehicle chassis. The main function of the wheel axle seal is to prevent lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, or other liquids from leaking from the connection points of the wheel axle, ensuring the normal lubrication and operation of the wheel axle.

2. Wheel bearing seal: Wheel bearing is an important component that supports wheel rotation. The seal can prevent dust, impurities, moisture, etc. from entering the inside of the bearing, maintain the lubrication and working condition of the bearing, and extend the service life of the bearing.

3. Brake system sealing: The brake system of heavy-duty vehicles includes brake discs, brake pads, brake cylinders, and other components. Seals are used to ensure reliable sealing of the hydraulic transmission part of the brake system, prevent hydraulic oil leakage, and ensure the normal operation and safety performance of the brake system.

4. Wheel hub seal: The wheel hub of heavy-duty vehicles is the component that connects the wheel to the vehicle. The wheel hub seal is mainly used to prevent external dust, moisture, etc. from entering the wheel hub, and to protect the wheel hub bearings and other key components.

5. Tire airtight seal: The tire airtight seal of heavy-duty vehicles is used to ensure the sealing of the gas inside the tire, prevent air pressure leakage, and maintain the normal operation of the tire. This is crucial for the suspension and driving stability of heavy vehicles.

Material selection

When selecting the material for your heavy duty wheel seals, there are several factors to consider:

1. Temperature resistance: Seals need to maintain their performance at various temperatures, especially considering that when the vehicle is driving, the seals may come into contact with components of different temperatures.

2. Chemical corrosion resistance: Seals need to be able to resist corrosion from oil, water, and other chemicals that may come into contact with them.

3. Mechanical strength: Seals need to have a certain mechanical strength to withstand the vibration and impact during vehicle driving.

4. Wear resistance: Seals need to have good wear resistance to resist wear, especially during frequent opening and closing processes.

■ Nitrile rubber is one of the most common sealing materials. It has good elasticity and pressure resistance and is suitable for most automotive sealing purposes. However, it has poor weather and ozone resistance, so it is not suitable for use in high-temperature and ozone environments.

■ Styrene-butadiene rubber is another common sealing material. It has the characteristics of high-temperature resistance, ozone resistance, and oil resistance, so it is suitable for use in harsher environments. The disadvantage of synthetic rubber is that it is less elastic and prone to cracking.

■ Special rubber is a sealing material with special properties, such as fluorine rubber, silicone rubber, etc. These rubber materials have excellent properties such as high-temperature resistance, oil resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, and are suitable for demanding application scenarios.
