Oil Leakage of Crankshaft Oil Seal of Cummins Diesel Generating Set

The front oil seal of the crankshaft of the Cummins diesel generator set has oil leakage fault, so why does the oil seal oil leakage fault occur when the Cummins diesel generator set has not been running for a long time? In this article, Dingbo Power Generation Equipment will provide users with a brief analysis, and the specific content is as follows:

The front oil seal of the crankshaft of the Cummins diesel generator set leaks oil, which is an oil seal fault. It is impossible to prevent oil leakage. Although the oil leakage rate is not high among the multiple oil seals of the Cummins diesel generator set engine, it is also very cheap, but there are many replacement and disassembly parts, and the labor cost is high, which is a typical minor ailment. So, the reasons for its failure have been analyzed by engineers, but there are only three points.


(1) The aging oil seal of Cummins diesel generator set engine can only be a rubber product in Cummins diesel generator set engine accessories. Rubber products are used in engine components with good toughness and economic practicality, but they cannot achieve breakthroughs in service life, which is also an obstacle that rubber products cannot overcome. In addition, the crankshaft oil seal is often exposed to high temperatures while the engine is running, which accelerates its own aging and can lead to a certain period of time when it becomes unstable.


(2) The oil leakage of the additional grinding oil seal caused by the substandard oil used by the engine of Cummins diesel generator set seems to have nothing to do with the oil, but the quality of the oil determines whether the oil seal will be damaged prematurely. As for the front oil seal of the crankshaft, its inner diameter is usually smaller than the outer diameter of the front part of the crankshaft. The oil seal cannot guarantee oil leakage due to its own elasticity, so a spring is added around the inner diameter to protect the oil with the force of the spring. This creates friction with the crankshaft, and with the high-speed operation of the engine, once the oil is not qualified, the lubrication performance decreases, There will be dry wear between the inner diameter of the oil seal and the front of the crankshaft. Many times, when we remove the oil seal, there will be a shallow mark in the position of the oil seal.


(3) The uncertain position of external forces determines the risk. The position of the crankshaft front oil seal is prone to damage and oil leakage caused by uncertain factors. Through our observation of replacing the crankshaft front oil seal in recent years, the first factor is that the debris and dust from the belt adhere to the inner diameter of the oil seal, which allows these debris to be seized and cause accidental wear and oil leakage; The entanglement caused by floating objects during wading directly causes oil seal damage and oil leakage.


The above is the reason why Cummins diesel generator set engine crankshaft oil seal oil leakage fault was analyzed by Dingbo Power Generation Equipment for the majority of unit users. Finally, Dingbo Power Generation Equipment kindly reminds the majority of users that once the crankshaft oil seal oil leakage is found, Cummins diesel generator set engine may be short of oil and wear, and the outflow of oil will also be a safety hazard for the entire machine room. So, regular inspection is very important.

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
