NOK Oil Seal Application Guide IINOK Oil Seal Application Guide £2 1, The Selection Process 2 2. Allowable Operating Teraperature Range ———E-7 EA£2 E. NOK OIL SEAL APPLICATION GUIDE To ensure optimal performance, it is necessary to select the appropriate oll seal type and material for the actual operating conditions. This chapter describes selection process and permissible temperature ranges for each type of oil seal listed in this catalog If the oll seal you need (type, material, or dimensions) is not listed in this catalog, please contact us regarding customized products. MSelection Process Use the following steps to select your oil seal. 1. Select the Seal Type Select the proper seal type per Figure 1 “Flowchart for Seal Type Selection” on pages E-4 and E55. 2. Select the Seal Lip Material ‘Since lip materials for catalog products should be selected according to the appropriate condi tions for each oil seal type (see Table 1 “Lip Materials by Oil Seal Type” ), please refer to Table 3 “A Guide to Permissible Working Range of Standard Oil Seals” (on pages E-6 and E-7) and Table 4 “A Guide to Select the oil seal type in accordance with Fig. 1 “Flowchart for Seal Type Selection” on pages E4 and E5. “A Guide to the Allowable Operating Conditions: of General Oil Seals” (pages E8 to E11), as well as Chapter J “Oil and Chemical Resistance Ratings of NOK Lip Materials,’ 8. Select the Metallic Materials ‘The metallic materials for garter springs and cases should be selected by the appropriate oil seal type, same as lip materials. Table 2 shows the appropriate metallic materials by oil seal type. Please refer to Table 4 “Types and Applications of Garter Spring and Case Materials (page D-7) 4, Select Seal Dimensions Check whether the dimensions of the oil seal you want matches the shaft diameter, housing ‘diameter, and width of the relevant area by refer- 1g to Chapter H_ “Type and Size List of NOK Seals.” Please consult us before using NOK oil seals in aircraft or nuclear power equipment The oil seats listed in this catalog are not designed nor manufactured to be used in medical equipment, and should not be used in medical equipment used for transplant surgeries or in applications that come into contact with bodily fluids or living tissue.Materials for the oil seal lips, garter springs, and cases described in this catalog must be selected according to the applicable usage conditions for each oil seal type.
