WHEELS, RIMS AND TIRESFigure 15. - Oil Lubricated Wheel Seal With Wiper RingFigure 16. - Oil Lubricated Wheel Seal and Wiper RingWith Grit GuardUnitized Scot or National SealsUnitized seals (Figure 17) in most installations do notrequire axle wiper rings and minimize wear on the axlespindle as follows. The outer shell of the seal beingpressure fit in the wheel hub rotates with the wheelaround the sealing element which is pressure fit on theaxle spindle. With the unitized seal when replacement ismade, the worn surface created by the sealing lip is alsoreplaced by virtue of a new seal.Figure 17. - Unitized Scot or National SealBarrier Unitized SealThe rubber encased seal shown in Figure 18 Is a barriertype seal. The seal effect is between the lips andencased metal ring. This type of seal is installed by handand should not normally have any lubricant or sealantadded to the inner or outer surfaces when installed.New seals have a lubricant applied to the mountingsurfaces to aid in the installation. Do not apply grease tothese surfaces. If grease should be applied to the outersurface of seal, the seal could slip in the hub or onspindle or axle tube.CTS-4148APage 9
