Duo-Cone seal
(1) Seal ring
(2) Rubber toric
The two main components of a Duo-Cone seal are shown in Illustration 2.
Duo-Cone seal assembly
The standard naming nomenclatures for Duo-Cone seals are listed below.
(1) Seal Ring - The metal component of a seal group.
(2) Rubber Toric (Load Ring) - Elastomeric component of a seal group that applies a face load in
the application. This o-ring style seal retains oil and excludes debris.
(3) Housing (Retainer) Lip - The lip inside the housing (retainer) that helps to retain the seal
ring/rubber toric during installation.
(4) Housing Ramp - The angled ramp that is located on the housing. Maintaining the proper surface
finish is critical.
页码，2/27(W)w

(5) Housing Retainer - The recess in which a seal ring and a load ring are installed.
(6) Seal Face - The “active surface” of the seal. In a finished seal the face contains the seal band, seal
band to taper radius, and taper.
(7) Seal Ramp - The inclined surface on the exterior of the Duo-Cone seal ring that positions the
toric between the seal ring and the housing.
(8) Seal Retaining Lip - The function of the retaining lip is to provide a seat for the toric. This radius
allows the toric to stay on the ring for ease of assembly.
(9) Installation Tool - Assembly tool used to install the Duo-Cone seal into housing.
(10) Seal Assembled Height (not shown in Illustration 2) - The final installation height of Duo-
Cone seal once installed into the housing (retainer). Assembled height measured in three places
approximately 120 degrees apart. Not to exceed 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) variation.
For a full Duo-Cone seal assembly there are three components that comprise a full assembly:
(1) Seal ring
(2) Rubber toric
(5) Housing retainer
These three components help create three separate and distinct sealing areas. If one aspect of the seal
assembly goes wrong, then a leak path may occur at one or more of following sealing locations.
Metal-to-Metal Face•
Metal Seal Ring-to-Toric•
Toric-to-Housing•

STORAGE
Seal and Seal Ring Storage
Contamination Storage Requirements - Regardless of size or shape, seals and gaskets must be
stored in such a manner that prevents contamination and maintains cleanliness. The seals and gaskets
should be stored in original packaging until installed.
Best Practice Storage - Best-practice storage requires two methods of limiting contamination direct
to the seal or seal ring. If one level of protection is easily frayed or fray-able (rubbed or worn into
fibers), (for example: wood/cardboard) the storage container must have an internal layer of protection
(for example: polybag). Any storage container (lid or bag) must be resealed after each use.
Minimum Acceptable Storage - Minimum acceptable storage practices would include one method
of limiting contamination direct to the seal or seal ring.
Unacceptable Storage - Storing seals or seal rings without any means of limiting contamination or
with the storage container (lid/bag) open/unsealed is an unacceptable practice. Seals should not be
stored in direct sunlight.
Housing Storage - Store housings in a manner that will prevent contamination, rust, or damage to the
component.
CLEANLINESS
Refer to the Contamination Control Guidelines, PEBJ0002, "Caterpillar Dealer Contamination
Control Compliance Guide".
Use only an approved lint-free wipe to remove all contamination from the seal ring, rubber toric, and
housing.
Seals, Seal Rings, and Housing Cleanliness
Seals and seal rings must be kept free from contamination sources. Examples may include but are not
limited to, airborne dust and dirt, metal chips, and liquids such as fuels, oils, greases, and solvents.
页码，4/27(W)w

To reduce the risk of contamination, assembly aids (including lubricants and retention compounds)
should be applied immediately prior to assembly. Containers containing cleaners used to clean the
seal face and retainers or lubricants used to prelube the seal faces prior to assembly should be kept
covered when not being used.
Housing Retainer Lip Cleanliness
Check the housing retainer lip for burrs, surface blemishes, or damage before installing the seals.
HANDLING
Toric Handling
Toric shall be free from contamination and damage. Contact of the toric with threaded components or
other sharp objects shall be prevented as the contact risks cutting, nicking, or damaging the seal.
Do not allow contact with unapproved chemicals as the contact may lead to material degradation.
Seal Ring Handling
Proper handling of seal ring
Do not slide the face of the seal ring across any hard surface. When handling a seal ring, clean, lint-
free gloves must be used. Refer to Illustration 4.
Handle the seal ring in a manner to prevent contact or damage to the seal ring face.
Remove the seal ring from the packaging prior to assembly.
Review the seal ring face and toric for defects before installation. Defects could include (but not
limited to) scratches on the seal ring face, cut or nicked toric.
页码，5/27(W)w

Housing Handling
Handle the housing in a manner that will promote safety for the operator and prevent contamination
or damage to the housing.
PREASSEMBLY INSPECTION OF CRITICAL COMPONENTS
Complete a 1-second inspection of seal and mating components for damage and contamination. A 1-
second inspection is a quick visual review of the part and mating component for damage or debris.
This inspection is to help identify part issues before assembling the parts to the components.
Seal Inspection - Rubber Toric
Complete a visual inspection to verify that no contamination or damage in the form of, but not limited
to: nicks, cuts, or gouges are present.
Toric shall be stored in conformance with the storage and shelf life covered Contamination Control
Guidelines, PEBJ0002, "Caterpillar Dealer Contamination Control Compliance Guide".
Parting line of toric aligned with outside diameter of seal ring
Toric should have the parting line of the seal aligned with the outside diameter of the seal ring. The
parting line should align with the OD of the seal ring. Complete a full 360 degrees inspection of the
parting line to ensure the OD of the toric aligns with the OD of the seal ring. Refer to Illustration 5.
If a slight twist is present, the slight twist may lead to misalignment of the OD of the toric and seal
ring. Using minimal force, slightly twist or rotate the rubber toric to align properly with the OD of the
seal ring.
During reinstallation, rubber toric should not be stretched or twisted beyond what is necessary for
installation.
Seal Ring

Critical inspection points for seal ring
Seal Ring Face - Flat Band - Complete a visual inspection to verify that no contamination or
damage in the form of, but not limited to: scratches or large chips are present. Refer to Illustration 6.
Taper Band/Flat Band - If contamination is present, use an approved lint-free wipe to remove
debris. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the seal ring face when removing debris. Refer to
Illustration 6.
Scratch on seal ring face
Flat Band - Scratches are acceptable only to the degree that the scratches do not impair the function
of the seal. Refer to Illustration 7.
Guidelines to be followed
页码，7/27(W)w

Scratches that cross the transition between the flat band and into the spherical taper are not permitted.
Scratches that are in the flat band and spherical taper and cannot be felt with an approved inspection
instrument are acceptable. An approved inspection instrument is a MAC tool metal pick, Item No.
PS22A. Refer to Illustration 8. Instruments such as dental picks or razor blades are not acceptable.
Any defect that falls within the sealing band transition area is not acceptable. The sealing band
transition area is 0.75 mm (0.030 inch) from the centerline of the radius, where the sealing
band and the spherical taper meet. Refer to Illustration 9.
•
页码，8/27(W)w

Defects other than scratches that fall within the sealing band and are more than 0.75 mm
(0.030 inch) from the center of the transition radius are acceptable as long as they do not
exceed 0.4 mm (0.02 inch) in both directions. Refer to Illustration 9.
•
Defects other than scratches that fall within the spherical taper area and are more than 0.75 mm
(0.030 inch) from the center of the transition radius are acceptable as long as they do not
exceed 0.8 mm (0.03 inch) mm in both directions. Refer to Illustration 9.
•
Miscellaneous Defects
Any seal that gives an immediate appearance of poor quality or non-uniformity is subject to rejection
even if the seal meets the above standards. Set the questionable seal rings aside and metal face seal
inspection personnel should be contacted. Examples include:
Sunburst scratches•
Bright spots or “wash-outs” from the polishing operation•
Seals on which the conditioning rings stopped turning during the lapping operation•
Seals that appear different from a normal run because of scratches, which are too numerous,
too deep, or too concentrated in one area
•
Seals, which are not clean on the seal face, in particular which show remnants of dried lapping
compound
•
Seal Ring Ramp
If the rubber toric is missing, dislodged, or has been removed, complete a visual inspection to verify
that no contamination or damage in the form of, but not limited to: seal ring cracks or other obvious
damage are present.
Housing (Seal Retainer)
Complete a visual inspection to verify that no contamination or damage in the form of, but not limited
to: sharp edges, missing material, or burrs that may damage the rubber toric are present.

Vertical installation
For vertical installations (radial directions), place the installation tool on top of the housing and
quickly press by hand evenly around the tool. The even hand-pressure will seat the rubber toric under
the housing retaining lip. Refer to Illustration 19.
Horizontal installation
Horizontal installations allow for easier access and even hand pressure around the tool, typically
without the use or need of a rubber mallet. Refer to Illustration for horizontal installation.
页码，14/27(W)w

Tool used with large Duo-Cone seals
In cases where the seal cannot be seated or installed with by hand, the use of a rubber mallet is
acceptable on the installation tool.
For vertical installations on large seals, that cannot be installed with sudden even pressure, cock the
installation tool with the seal, past the retaining lip in the 6:00 position and use a mallet to tap the seal
in place. Make sure the toric is fully engaged past the seal retainer lip after the installation tool is
removed. Refer to Illustration 21.
Measurement
Use a pair of calipers to measure the stand-up height of the Duo-Cone seal once installed into the
housing (retainer).
Obtain the appropriate measurements as defined in "Verifying Duo-Cone Seal Assembly" located
later in this document to validate proper assembly.
Tooling Storage Cleanliness
Tooling storage surfaces should be clean and free from contamination such as dirt, filings, or other
debris.
