High pressure oil seals, also known as hydraulic seals, play an indispensable role in the efficient functioning of various industrial equipment and machinery. These seals are specifically designed to prevent leakage and maintain system integrity in high-pressure environments where oil or other lubricants are used.

Factors in Oil Seal Selection
Seals are designed to create a tight seal around the shaft by utilising a combination of lip geometry, surface tension, and lubrication. When the shaft rotates, the lip of the oil seal comes into contact with the shaft surface, creating a frictional force that generates heat. This heat helps to soften and conform the elastomeric material of the oil seal to the shape of the shaft, ensuring an effective sealing action.
