Caterpillar 3197401 Crankshaft Seal
Caterpillar 3197401 Crankshaft Seal
Product Description :
- It is a component used in internal combustion engines to prevent oil leakage from the crankshaft. It’s located at the front of the engine, where the crankshaft extends out of the engine block.
- They are typically made of rubber or a similar elastomeric material, with a metal casing or reinforcement to provide structural integrity. They are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures encountered in the engine’s crankcase and are installed in a specially machined groove in the engine block.
- The primary function of the crankshaft seal is to seal the gap between the stationary engine block and the rotating crankshaft, preventing oil from leaking out of the engine and contaminants from entering. This seal is essential for maintaining proper lubrication of the engine’s moving parts and preventing oil from escaping onto the ground or other engine components.
