The felt bowl has the function of sealing and preventing the leakage of fluid such as oil. Motors need a part called a shaft to transmit the rotational force. This part always performs rotational movement, this constant rotation requires us to oil or lubricate. In fact, lubrication makes the rotational movement easier and prevents the movement from drying out. Oil is a fluid substance and therefore tends to spill and escape, here a felt bowl is used to prevent this fluid from escaping. In general, the task of this part is sealing and sealing in parts with fluid.
In the past, they used felt to dry the oil, that’s why today this bowl-shaped piece is called a felt bowl.
There are many parts of the engine that are involved with rotational force, and wherever this force is, this part is definitely needed. Normally, this part can be easily seen near the valve, piston, shock absorber, valves, bearings and steering valve.
Felt bowl components:
1- spring
2- Felt
3- Washer
Felt bowls of Etihad Golden Asia Company are made of polymer materials, which show great resistance to heat and impact.
Symptoms of failure:
1- The gearbox valves are blocked.
2- Due to the lack of oil, there will be a disturbance in the differential function and it will work with noise.
3- Fluid leakage (oil or any other liquid) in the vicinity of this part
4- Oil leaks next to the air inlet and outlet of the shock absorber.
5- reduction of differential oil
6- Collect dust around this piece.
When the felt bowl is damaged, many problems may occur for the parts that are in the vicinity of this part. Below we discuss some of the complications of felt bowl failure.
With the breakdown of this part, the oil inside it leaks in the car engine and it is possible that the air valves will catch. This clogging of the valves causes the inside of the chamber to heat up and then the oil heats up, this high heat puts pressure on the surrounding walls and causes disruption in the work of this part.
Noisy working of the differential can be due to the failure of this part and due to oil leakage. As the oil decreases, the differential and its gears dry out, which causes noise during the operation of this part. Failure to repair this part over time will cause the differential to fail.
It is recommended to repair or replace the defective felt bowl as soon as oil is seen and before the dust has accumulated on the oil.
The felt bowl is an important and sensitive part, the failure of which causes high-cost damages to the car, it is recommended to change or repair this after seeing the oiling before dust accumulates on the oil. cut into pieces The high quality and high quality of the felt bowl is important because of its important function and prolonging its working life, which saves time and money. In this regard, Etihad Talai Asia company, using its high experience, supplies parts and spare parts of domestic cars with the best quality to all parts of the country.
