Seals and Forklift Seals: What Are They Used For?

Seals and forklift seals are essential components in the hydraulic and mechanical systems of forklifts. Their specific functions are as follows:

🔧 Forklift Seals:

• Function: Forklift seals (also known as oil seals) are used to prevent leakage of lubricating oil and hydraulic oil in parts like cylinders, hydraulic pumps, and moving shafts.

• Installation Position: Typically installed in positions with linear or rotary motion, such as wheel shafts and lifting cylinders.

• Effect: Protects internal parts from dust, water, and abrasive agents, extending the lifespan of the hydraulic system.

🔧 Forklift Seals (O-rings):

• Function: Primarily used to prevent oil leakage and maintain oil pressure in hydraulic components.

• Installation Position: Usually found on shafts, bearings, or high-pressure components of the hydraulic system.

• Effect: Reduces friction between moving parts, minimizes wear, and decreases operational noise.

🚧 Why is it Necessary to Maintain Forklift Seals and O-rings?

• Prevent Oil Leakage: Leakage reduces working efficiency and damages the hydraulic system.

• Ensure Safety: Oil leaks can cause slipping and loss of control of the forklift.

• Cost Savings: Regular maintenance minimizes major damage and repair costs.
