Quick question about the inner seal on the front hub on an x01-series machine. This is really dumb.
I could have sworn that a couple of months ago when I tore the machine down that the inner seal was a "radial" type seal. Meaning, the sealing surface was the ID of the seal, which was to the OD of the spindle.....and that OD is horizontal. And I "thought" that the seal had a spring in it to keep the ID squeezed down on the OD of the spindle, but I can't completely remember now.
So I got some new seals. IIRC they are part number 1190, but instead of a springed, radial seal, they have a thick square section of rubber, and they appear to be a "face" style seal. Meaning, the vertical outer rubber flat face of the seal would rub against the vertical inner-most area of the spindle. The ID of the seal is not even close to sealing on the OD of the spindle. Seems strange.
Am I just losing it here and got the wrong seal?
Thanks,
Kevin
