Gasket Axle Flange

A seal that is used between the axle flange and the axle housing. It is typically made of a soft, compressible material, such as rubber or cork. The gasket axle flange creates a watertight seal that prevents lubricants and other fluids from leaking out of the axle housing. It also helps to prevent dirt and debris from getting into the axle housing.

Flanges are important because they help to keep the axle and axle housing in good condition. If they fail, it can lead to leaks, which can damage the axle and axle housing. It can also lead to the loss of lubricants, which can cause the axle to wear out premature.

Theyare typically replaced when they show signs of wear or damage. This can include cracks, tears, or hardening of the rubber or cork. It is also important to replace the gasket axle flange if the axle or axle housing has been serviced or repaired.

Here are some of the functions of a gasket axle flange:

• Creates a watertight seal that prevents lubricants and other fluids from leaking out of the axle housing.
• Prevents dirt and debris from getting into the axle housing.
• Helps to keep the axle and axle housing in good condition.
