Oil Seals: Storage

 

The perfect operation of the shaft seals is also ensured by a proper storage. It is important that the gaskets always kept in their original packing, stored in a cool, dry and clean place, protected from dust and direct sunlight. It is advisable to store them at a temperature between 15 and 25°C (59-77°F), with a maximum moisture content of 50%. Avoid a proximity to sources of heat and to electrical equipment; heat and ozone emissions may in fact cause a premature decay of the rubber characteristics. Also avoid excessively humid environments: they could set off degenerative and/or corrosive phenomena of the components of the seals. In no case the seals are to be hung from lines or threads which could press the sealing lip and damage it, nor be stacked on the top of each other in such quantities as to deform their geometry under their own weight.
