1. Oil Seal Function - Seals the gap between a rotating shaft and its housing to prevent oil leaks and keep contaminants out. - Maintains proper lubrication within the assembly to protect moving parts and extend component life. Key benefits - Reliable leakage prevention across a range of temperatures and operating conditions. - Easy replacement in standard seal grooves, reducing maintenance time. - Available in common elastomer materials to suit lubricant type and chemical exposure. - Durable construction minimizes maintenance frequency and downtime. Material and compatibility - Typical material options include nitrile rubber (NBR) for general oil resistance and fluorocarbon (FKM) for higher temperature or aggressive fluids. - Material choice should match the lubricant, temperature range, and exposure to chemicals in your application. - Confirm compatibility with your lubricant and operating environment using the manufacturer specifications. Sizes and fit - Designed for standard shaft seal grooves. - To ensure a correct fit, verify inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and width (thickness) against the equipment’s seal groove and shaft dimensions. - Refer to your equipment’s size chart or the product specification sheet for exact measurements. Performance - Seals maintain integrity under normal rotating speeds and pressure within the intended design range. - Resistant to wear from shaft contact and lubricant shear, supporting long service life when properly selected. Use scenarios - Automotive engine or transmission assemblies that require reliable containment of engine oil or transmission fluid. - Industrial gearboxes, pumps, or motors where preventing oil leaks and excluding contaminants is critical for uptime. - Hydraulic systems or compressors that need robust sealing to maintain lubrication and protect against ingress of dust and moisture.
