This floating seal is a critical sealing component designed for Volvo excavators, preventing the ingress of contaminants and the egress of lubricant in rotating or articulating joints like final drives or hydraulic cylinders. It is constructed from durable materials to maintain a tight seal under pressure and against abrasive elements, unlike a worn or damaged seal that would allow leakage. Operators will typically notice hydraulic fluid leaks or excessive dirt and debris accumulation around the sealed joint when this component 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 sign of a failing floating seal is often visible leakage of oil or grease from the sealed component. If left unaddressed, this leakage will continue, potentially leading to lubricant starvation and increased wear on internal parts. The ultimate risk is severe internal damage to the drivetrain or hydraulic system due to contamination and lack of lubrication.
Thoroughly clean the seal grooves and mating surfaces to ensure a perfect seal and prevent damage. Ensure the seal is correctly oriented and seated evenly to avoid premature failure.
Inspect the mating surfaces (shaft and housing) for wear or damage, and clean the area thoroughly before installing the new seal.
