8.2
Check gearbox for leaks
Oil or grease escaping in small quantities from the shaft sealing ring should be regarded as
normal during the running-in phase, which is an operating time of 24 hours.
If the quantities escaping are significant or leaking continues after the running-in phase, the
shaft sealing ring must be replaced to prevent consequential damage.
Shaft sealing rings are subject to natural wear. The service life depends on the operating
conditions. We recommend that shaft sealing rings are included in periodic maintenance and
servicing work on the system.

Information
Film of moisture on the
shaft sealing ring
Film of moisture as a
result of the inherent
principle of operation
(apparent leakage)
Remove using a clean
cloth and continue to
observe.
This does not represent
a fault; frequently, in
the course of operation,
the sealing ring dries
off.
Leakage at the shaft
sealing ring
Identifiable small trickle,
formation of drops, also
after the running-in
phase
Replace the sealing
ring, determine the
possible cause of the
sealing ring failure and
rectify.
During the run-in
period, the shaft sealing
ring beds into the shaft.
A visible track can be
seen on the shaft.
Optimum preconditions
for a perfect seal are
obtained after the run-in
period.
