Floating face seals are not Indestructible

2019-12-05 13:53:46
The floating face seal has been designed to survive in some of the most extreme conditions encountered with construction equipment and earth-moving equipment.  However, keep in mind that floating face seals have a limited life span and are supposed to be replaced during the life of your equipment, whether its an ASV drive motor or a CAT hydraulic motor. That life span can be extended by carefully cleaning out debris from around the face seal using a hose or pressure washer.


To prevent premature failure of your face seals, clean the undercarriage of your machine with a pressure washer. This simple maintenance step can save you thousands of dollars in repairs. If it seems that you are having to top off the gear oil too often or you notice gear oil leaking behind the sprocket, that means you have a problem with your seals and it is time for them to be replaced.
