- Loss of Accessory Functionality If you notice any malfunctioning components like the alternator or air conditioning, a failing V-belt might be the culprit.


Nitrile rubber offers good durability for general use, while the flexibility of the spring behind the sealing lip keeps the oil seal firmly in place against the moving part.
Overall, floating oil seals play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and performance of machinery that relies on fluid containment. Their innovative design, durability, and versatility make them an indispensable component in a wide range of industries. By investing in high-quality floating oil seals and following best practices for installation and maintenance, businesses can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their equipment is well-protected from oil leaks and other potential issues.
Silicone Oil Seals - Designed to absorb lubricants in order to lessen wear and friction, silicone rotary shafts also offer high thermal resistance and a large temperature range. But, they do not handle abrasions well or interact with oxidized oils.
Properly installed, an oil seal will help keep machinery in perfect working order. Its primary functions include retaining or separating fluids, maintaining a bearing’s lubricity, preventing seal leakage, and preventing the entry of foreign contaminants. Other benefits of Emerson Bearing’s oil seals include:
All are fitted with a spring to preload the sealing lip. All these types are for non-pressurised or low-pressure applications up to 0.5 bar for diameters of a limited size. For diameter of 500 mm or more, the maximum pressure is 0.1 bar. For higher pressures, special types or PTFE lip seals can be used.
