However, as components exposed to natural wear and tear over time, their durability can be altered by a number of factors, from adverse operating conditions to assembly errors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From Epidor SRT we want to explain the failures detected in oil seals applications and how we can distinguish these errors in two different situations: short term oil seal failures and long term oil seal failures. This distinction will allow us to approach the challenges from different perspectives and develop effective strategies to prevent and\/or mitigate them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipos_de_fallos_en_los_retenes_de_aceite\"><\/span>Types of oil seal failures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Short-term seal failures can be detected quickly after the oil seals are installed, and can have a high impact on the operation of rotating machinery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, if we are using these components without problems and suddenly we see that the oil seals fail, there may be several reasons: prolonged misuse over time, wear due to friction, an error in choosing the best oil seal, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having understood the types of oil seal failures, let's delve into each category of failure to better understand the underlying causes and the preventive measures that can be taken.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallos_en_retenes_a_corto_plazo_%C2%BFque_los_desencadena\"><\/span>Short-term seal failures: what triggers them?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22351\" src=\"https:\/\/epidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fallos-en-retenes-ESR_2024-02_BOLG_INTERIOR1.jpg\" alt=\"Short-term seal failures\" width=\"865\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we tell you from Epidor SRT, short-term failures are those that we detect after the oil seals have been installed (they usually appear after a short period of time of operation of the machinery). These failures can have a variety of causes, but some of the most common include:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallos_en_retenes_por_montaje\"><\/span>Failure of seals due to assembly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 35% of the cases, one of the main reasons for short-term failures is incorrect assembly of the seal: either because it is not properly fitted, because the part has been damaged during installation, or because of improper assembly during installation.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallo_en_retenes_por_acabados_del_eje\"><\/span>Failure of shaft seals due to shaft finish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A poor shaft finish can be the cause, in 30% cases, of premature wear of the oil seal. Irregularities in the shaft surface can damage the oil seal, causing it to become leaky.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallo_en_retenes_por_condiciones_de_trabajo\"><\/span>Failure of working conditions in oil seals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High temperatures, extreme pressures or excessive vibrations can adversely affect oil seals in 10% of cases. This failure is quickly remedied by relying on <a href=\"https:\/\/epidor-srt.com\/area-tecnica\/selector-simmerring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expert manufacturers of oil seals<\/a>, The company is able to select the right type of seal for the specific application.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallo_en_retenes_por_entorno_de_trabajo\"><\/span>Failure of seals due to working environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dusty workplaces, corrosive chemicals, unfavorable working environments, etc., are the cause of oil seal failure in 10% of cases.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallos_en_retenes_por_problemas_de_lubricacion\"><\/span>Seal failures due to lubrication problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Insufficient lubrication is the reason for oil seal failure in 10% of cases. Poor lubrication of a seal can cause excessive friction between the seal and the shaft, which can accelerate premature wear or even lead to seal failure.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallos_en_reten_por_culpa_de_un_reten_inadecuado_o_un_defecto_en_el_reten\"><\/span>Seal failures due to improper seal or seal defect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In some cases (5%), seal failure may be due to incorrect seal type selection or manufacturing defects in the seal itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fallos_en_retenes_a_largo_plazo_factores_que_debemos_tener_en_cuenta\"><\/span>Long-term seal failures: factors to consider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22355\" src=\"https:\/\/epidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fallos-en-retenes-ESR_2024-02_BOLG_INTERIOR2.jpg\" alt=\"Long-term seal failures\" width=\"865\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Long-term failures in oil seals, on the other hand, may not be immediately obvious and may arise after prolonged use of rotating machinery. Failures can have very different causes, usually due to poor maintenance. Let's see the main causes of oil seals failures:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Problemas_de_lubricacion\"><\/span>Lubrication problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lack of proper lubrication over time is the main cause of oil seal failure (occurs in 40% of cases). This poor maintenance can lead to gradual wear of the oil seal, even after seemingly trouble-free operation.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Condiciones_de_trabajo\"><\/span>Working conditions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Factors such as changes in workload, intensive operating cycles or exposure to extreme conditions can contribute to progressive degradation of oil seals over time (we found this common error in 25% of seal failure cases).<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entornos_de_trabajo\"><\/span>Work environments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over time, exposure to certain chemicals or even the effects of the working environment, such as exposure to the elements, can cause damage to oil seals (this happens in 20% of cases).<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reten_inadecuado_o_defecto_en_el_reten\"><\/span>Inadequate seal or seal defect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 10% of cases the reason for oil seal failure is due to a poor choice of oil seal type or a defect in the oil seal. Thus, as the machinery is in use for an extended period of time, the oil seal eventually fails.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acabados_del_eje\"><\/span>Shaft finishes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although less common (5%) compared to other causes, poor shaft finishes can still contribute to long-term oil seal failures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking for an expert in oil seals?
