TYPES OF OIL SEAL
Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.
In conclusion, oil seals play a critical role in maintaining the performance and longevity of machinery. By preventing the leakage of oil and contaminants, these seals help to ensure that machines operate efficiently and reliably over extended periods of time. With their high-quality materials and precise design, oil seals are a must-have component for any mechanical system that requires reliable sealing solutions.

Begin with a thorough inspection of all involved surfaces:shaft sealing surface and housing bore, seal lip(s), and outside diameter. Maintaining the integrity of the sealing lips is “Priority 1″. The slightest tear or nick can develop into a more significant issue during operation.
