Seal Wear Progression; Cleaning And Inspection - Komatsu 930E-2 Shop Manual

Cleaning and Inspection

If the brake wear indicator test indicates internal
brake components are worn to the maximum al-
lowable limit, it is recommended that all friction
discs, separator plates and dampers should be
replaced with new parts. Always replace seal as-
semblies and O-rings with new parts.
1. Clean all parts thoroughly prior to inspection.
2. Remove and discard toric rings from floating ring
oil seal assembly (6, Figure 5-1) in seal retainer
and back plate. Inspect seal ring polished (mat-
ing) surfaces for scratches or other damage. In-
spect the contact band of the mating faces to
determine amount of wear.
NOTE: A new seal will have a contact band (dimension
"A", Figure 5-8) approximately 0.06 in. (1.6 mm) wide.
As wear occurs, the contact band will widen slightly
(dimension "B") and migrate inward until the inside
diameter is reached and the entire seal assembly must
be replaced. Remaining seal life can be estimated by
the width of the contact band.
3. Inspect piston housing for nicks or scratches in
piston seal area. If nicks or scratches cannot be
removed by polishing, replace housing.
4. Inspect piston seal assembly grooves for damage.

5. Inspect piston retract springs (3, Figure 5-7).
Check springs for free height and test for height
under load. Replace if not within approximately
10% of specification.

excessive friction material wear. Replace if wear
exceeds minimum groove depth.
