Leakage is often blamed on the oil seal itself, but external contamination may be the real cause. Mud and grit can damage the lip first, then oil escapes through the worn contact area.
An integrated COMBI seal creates staged protection: the outer section fights contamination while the inner section retains lubricant.
Helps prevent mud ingress
Helps reduce contamination-driven leakage
Protects the primary sealing edge
Supports longer service intervals
Suitable for heavy equipment in wet ground conditions
When machines repeatedly fail seals after exposure to mud, a combined exclusion-and-retention design can provide a better application match.
