Axle Seal
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Axle Seal, also known as the wheel seal, is a small but important component of a commercial truck's axle assembly. Its primary function is to prevent lubricant from leaking out of the axle housing and to keep contaminants from entering the axle assembly. This is achieved by creating a tight seal around the axle shaft, which is constantly rotating while the vehicle is in motion. The Axle Seal is typically made of high-quality materials such as rubber or silicone, which are resistant to heat, friction, and wear. It is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of heavy-duty use, including exposure to dirt, debris, and extreme temperatures. Without a properly functioning Axle Seal, the axle assembly could suffer from premature wear and tear, leading to costly repairs and downtime. Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect and replace the Axle Seal as needed to ensure the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.
