Standard Sealing Lip Designs


It is quite common for a groove to develop at the sealing lip at some point due to long-term use. As a result, the new oil seal no longer fits and seals properly. It is not strictly necessary to replace or repair the entire shaft. Take a closer look at the dimensions first. It may be possible to fit with a slightly narrower or wider oil seal next to the groove. Alternatively, using the Speedi-Sleeve repair kit, repair the running surface under the seal.


Overall, the 40mm rubber gasket is a versatile and reliable sealing solution that is widely used in various industries for different applications. Its ability to provide a tight seal, resist high temperatures and pressure, and dampen vibrations makes it a valuable component in ensuring the efficiency and reliability of industrial equipment and machinery. Whether in plumbing systems, automotive engines, or hydraulic systems, the 40mm rubber gasket plays a crucial role in maintaining operational efficiency and preventing costly leaks or contamination.
Oil Seal Overview

As shown in Figure 1, sealing devices come in two types: contact and non-contact.
Oil seals are among the major contact type sealing devices.
