Failure to install oil seals correctly can lead to failure. Factors such as knocking the seal into place may cause its spring to tilt in the bore or be out of alignment. Consider switching to a solid adhesive and applying it around the surface of the spring to prevent it from loosening.
One way to identify a seal that has not been fitted correctly is to check the rough shear of the rubber. To resolve this issue, align the mounting tool before positioning the seal in place.

Storage and Handling
The aerospace sector also heavily relies on rubber edge gaskets for sealing aircraft components, such as fuel tanks, air conditioning systems, and hydraulic lines


4. Installing a new seal
The primary function of a rubber locking gasket is to create an airtight or watertight seal between two mating parts. In industries like automotive, plumbing, aerospace, and chemical processing, these gaskets are indispensable. They prevent leaks, minimize wear and tear, and ensure the safe operation of equipment by preventing the ingress of contaminants They prevent leaks, minimize wear and tear, and ensure the safe operation of equipment by preventing the ingress of contaminants

Oil seals have a flexible lip that actually rubs against the rotating shaft or housing to prevent leakage. The spring keeps the lip in contact with the shaft. Bearing isolator oil seals are dynamic seals that incorporate a rotor or rotating member and a stator or stationary member. The rotor actually turns with the shaft. Some oil shafts are bearing isolators with a labyrinth construction. Others incorporate simpler O-rings.
