- The term describes when the contact surface width of the sealing edge has worn evenly along the entire circumference. A normal, gradual degree of wear on a sealing edge is due to various friction conditions between the edge of the seal and the shaft race. Contact surface widths of up to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) are acceptable in transmissions with high mileage.
