Installation tool holds the seal with O-Ring in the special groove made at the face of bracket ring and pushes the O–ring in the housing groove. It makes more easier to install floating seals.If you need installation tool,please contact us.

Unless open the package of floating seal products before using and installation, to prevent the product surface from rusting, polluting or bruising on sealing surface, it is strictly prohibited to put seal face downwards.

Before the installation thoroughly clean the installation groove and sealing, remove all the residue, it is suggested to use volatile solution, such as alcohol. Check and ensure that there is no burr in the installation groove.

Check the position of the rubber ring, must no twist, with the joint line position of rubber ring as a reference.

Using a special installation tool to put half of floating seal into the entrance of the installation groove, and then uniform and steady pressure into the cavity groove. It is forbidden to use any oil or grease to increase lubrication for making the installation easier. It can be sprayed with a small amount of alcohol to assist installation if necessary.

After installing half of floating seal into groove, check the position of the rubber ring, and make sure the rubber ring is no twist or asymmetry. Sealing face must be parallel to the plane of the cavity, and the maximum deviation is 1 mm.

Check to confirm all the above is no problem, then wipe the working sealing face of floating seal (sealing surface oil belongs to rust-proof il rather than lubricating oil), and remove all the residue, it is suggested to use volatile solution to wipe, such as alcohol and acetone, and blow using the cold wind gun. After dry and clean, daub a thin layer  lubricating oil on the metal seal working surface.

Install the other half set of floating seal into the corresponding cavity groove, and match the another half set after wiping clean the sealing surface, and adjust the installation gap to make the working pressure meet the requirements of the operating.

Alloy cast iron material: 3.5m/s

Forged steel materials: 2.5m/s

Our suggestion is to use the SAE 20W20 or SAE 10W40 type lubricating oil, oil level should be between the center of the axle and 2/3 diameter of the floating seal ring.
