An angled installation can cause the seal to become misaligned. When this occurs, friction between the lip and the shaft increases, which can lead to premature wear and an increase in operating temperature, accelerating the aging of the elastomer. If the misalignment is significant, the seal may immediately lose its sealing capacity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a34535 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0a34535\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osn.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CUADRO_3-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-46626\" alt=\"Instalaci\u00f3n de retenes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osn.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CUADRO_3-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.osn.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CUADRO_3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.osn.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CUADRO_3-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.osn.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CUADRO_3-20x13.webp 20w, https:\/\/www.osn.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CUADRO_3.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11252be e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"11252be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e92ddb3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e92ddb3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c999f9d elementor-widget__width-initial animated-slow elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c999f9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">7.
