A synthetic rubber used in gaskets, o rings, lip seals, and other moulded devices, Viton offers sealing properties for a range of oil-based applications. Viton with high fluorine grades will also produce excellent resistance to swell, especially in oxygenated fuel and high-octane blends.
Where loads are light, the outer skin layer can be made of silicone. It can be made of Fluroelastomer (orViton) to protect under high temperatures (more than 120 degrees Celcius). The skin can also be made of Poly Acrylate or Polytetra-FluroEthylene.

Beyond the variety of lip designs, oil seals also come in various case designs, each serving a unique role. Here are some of the most common ones:
Regular inspection and replacement of oil seals are also necessary to prevent leakage and maintain the efficiency of the machinery. Over time, oil seals can wear out due to constant friction and exposure to harsh conditions, leading to leaks and potential damage to the equipment. By monitoring the condition of oil seals and replacing them as needed, operators can prevent costly downtime and repairs.
To install an oil seal properly, the shaft must be undamaged. This is so the oil seal can do its job properly on the one hand, and to prevent it from being damaged during fitting on the other. In addition, it is very important to lubricate the shaft, the sealing lip and the bore with plenty of grease. This will allow the oil seal to slide more easily over the shaft and prevent dry running after the first rotation. The oil seal may also come into contact with the keyway, thread or other grooves when sliding over the shaft. By taping or covering the shaft at the location of these irregularities with oil-soaked paper, the oil seal can be mounted without damage to the sealing lip.
