This is a floating seal ring, a critical component in hydraulic systems that creates a seal between rotating and stationary parts, typically found in final drives or hydraulic motors. It prevents the leakage of hydraulic fluid and the ingress of contaminants, ensuring efficient operation, unlike a worn seal which allows fluid loss and debris entry. Operators may observe hydraulic fluid leaks, unusual noises from the drive unit, or a loss of power and torque when this seal fails.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a failing floating seal ring is often a visible hydraulic fluid leak from the affected component, such as the final drive housing. If the leak is ignored, contamination can enter the system, leading to accelerated wear of gears and bearings. Continued operation risks significant internal damage and potential component seizure.
Carefully clean the sealing surfaces on both the housing and the shaft before installation to prevent damage to the new seal. Ensure the seal is seated evenly and squarely; do not attempt to force it if it feels misaligned.
Inspect the drive gears, bearings, and the housing bore for any signs of scoring or excessive wear when replacing the floating seal ring.
