Pressure - Many oil seals can only withstand low-pressure applications, so understanding the compression set of your components is key.
Material Code ISO 1629
Shaft seals, dirt seals, grease seals, lip seals, and many other names are only a few of the many names given to oil seals. They are simple components used in rotary shaft machinery to keep oil from leaking and impurities like dust, dirt, and water out. However, an oil seal’s most crucial role is to safeguard all ball, sleeve, and roller bearing types found in rotating shafts. Additionally, the seals stop blending two fluids that shouldn’t mix, such as water and oil.
Advantages:
– Good static sealing
– Compensation of different thermal expansion
– Reduced risk of fretting corrosion
– Higher bore surface roughness is allowed
– Installation in split-housings
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces
