An overview of the different standard types of oil seals and their main characteristics is shown below.
The construction of an oil seal is a testament to meticulous engineering. Each oil seal primarily comprises two core components: the sealing element and the metal case. The collaboration of these parts brings about the seal’s functionality and effectiveness. A garter spring may also be included as an available feature, providing an extra layer of operational support.
What are Oil Seals?
Oil seals, also known as rotary shaft seals, are a type of gasket used to prevent lubricant leakage and contamination in rotating machinery by creating a barrier between the moving and stationary parts.
