Oil Seal, Axle Mount, Parallel
SAF-Holland

Designed for axial seal functionality at the mount interface, this oil seal delivers a robust barrier between the axle housing and the mounting surface, preventing lubricant leakage and ingress of contaminants. The parallel design ensures uniform seating across mating surfaces, minimizing radial runout and eccentric loading that can degrade seal performance over time. The VMRS code 018-002-011 places it in the lubrication and seal subset of the axle and suspension systems, reflecting its essential role in maintaining lubrication integrity and thermal management. Category context places it within trailer axle and suspension components, where reliable sealing is critical for extending bearing life and preserving lubricant cleanliness. In service, replace seals with compatible OEM or aftermarket equivalents when fatigue, hardening, or cracking is observed, and verify seating depth and flush mounting to avoid weeping or premature wear. Correct installation reduces oil consumption, protects critical bearings, and supports consistent braking and steering response in demanding operating conditions.
