Storage and installation of hydraulic seals

Storage of Hydraulic Seals: During storage and safekeeping, the hydraulic seals should be put into sealed polytetrafluoroethylene and other moisture resistant plastic bags, and the storage date and other records should be kept, and then stored in a dark place to avoid poor storage and safekeeping such as high temperature or direct sunlight, which will reduce their Sealing performance.

Precautions for installation of hydraulic seals:

1. Check the relevant surfaces of the piston, cylinder barrel and the installation guide sleeve, and ensure that they are clean, free of burrs and edges.

2. The installation tools shall be smooth without edges and sharp corners to ensure that the seals will not be damaged in any form during installation (special installation tools for hydraulic seals shall be used).

3. During installation, a small amount of grease can be applied to the sealing elements and the relevant surfaces of the cylinder barrel to facilitate installation. However, no residual grease is allowed between the rubber elastomer and the sliding Seal ring, otherwise the sealing performance will be affected.

4. Whether installed vertically or horizontally, the concentricity between the piston and the cylinder barrel shall be maintained. Excessive eccentricity may damage the seals.
