In addition to selecting the right type of oil seal, it is essential to consider the operating conditions of the equipment. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and speed can impact the performance and longevity of the seal. Choosing a seal that is rated for the specific operating conditions will help ensure reliable sealing and extended service life.
