In conclusion, shaft oil seals are essential components in machinery and equipment that help to prevent leaks, protect critical components, and ensure smooth operation. Their importance cannot be overstated, and proper selection, installation, and maintenance are key to maximizing their effectiveness and prolonging their lifespan. With the right seals in place, machinery can operate efficiently and reliably, delivering optimal performance and productivity.
Start the engine and check for oil leaks round the sump flange. Stop the engine and tighten the mountings.
Before you start installing oil seals, you need to choose the right size and type of oil seal for your application. Oil seals come in a variety of sizes and materials, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs. Consider factors such as temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility when choosing an oil seal.

The simplest way is to know either the preferred manufacturers part number, the overall sizes of shaft diameter, housing diameter and bore depth.Many of the old traditional names of seal manufacturers have either changed or disappeared in this age of “acquisitions”. If no longer available, we will advise you and offer a suitable alternative seal, from stock whenever possible. If your concern is getting the right seals for the job, you will need to know something about the application as well as the overall sizes. If you have any doubts – contact us, we will help in your seal selection.
1. Pressure: Many oil seals are used in high-pressure applications, so understanding the working pressure of your components is very important.
