When deciding on the best type of seal for a particular application, it is best to consider all aspects of the environment and its purpose. If the application requires a spring- loaded seal, that does not eliminate either the rotary shaft seal or the mechanical seal. If the equipment is operating in extreme temperatures, including situations where the rapid movement of the equipment creates extreme heat, a mechanical seal will hold up better than an oil seal.
contaminated with moisture or any other particle. But the same oil will only last for a month at 212 degrees Fahrenheit if it’s contaminated with little water. This is why the function of an oil seal is very evident whenever it’s used.
Whether the seal is a standard product or a custom solution, our engineers ensure that the seal is specified for your application.
NBR, also known as nitrile rubber or nitrile, is the most popular material for an oil seal because of its good resistance to many oils and greases, such as mineral grease and hydraulic oil. Depending on their composition, synthetic oils and greases, such as those based on glycol, can damage NBR rubber materials. Depending on the amount of glycol, a PTFE lip seal may be the best choice. NBR is also unable to cope with contact with acids and solvents. The rubber is suitable for oil and grease at temperatures from -35 °C to 100 °C.
Oil seals go by many names, such as shaft seals, dirt seals, grease seals, lip seals, and many other variations of these. They are essentially simple devices used in rotary shaft equipment to prevent lubricant from escaping and for excluding contaminants such as dust, dirt and water. An oil seal’s most important function, however, is that it protects every type of ball, sleeve and roller bearing in the rotating shafts. The seals also prevent the integration of two different fluids that shouldn’t mix, such as oil and water.
Oil seals, which are also known as rotary shaft seals, fluid seals or grease seals, play an important role in closing down the gaps between moving and stationary elements of mechanical equipment.
Fundamental things and its importance
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF OIL SEALS?
Cracks or swelling

metal cased oil seals. They can be used with a wide range of oils, greases, and other lubricants, making them suitable for various industrial applications. Additionally, these seals can withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and abrasive materials without compromising their sealing capabilities.
ERIKS type M (type B according to the DIN standard) has a single metal casing and rubber sealing lip. Since the casing is made of metal, it must be fitted in a well-finished, undamaged groove. Large volumes of oil seals with metal casings are often cheaper, which is why they are often used as original equipment in machines. However, if an oil seal has to be replaced, types with a rubber exterior (type R or RST) are easier to fit. Type MST is similar to M and commonly used. The difference is the dust lip in the MST oil seal that prevents dust and dirt reaching the sealing lip, and extends its service life in dusty environments.
Before installing the oil seal, check the seal carefully for damage. Make sure there are no cuts or tears around the seal lip, which is the two layers inside the oil seal.
Another thing to consider is the outer diameter of the oil seal. Any damage detected prior to installation will make it impossible to use further.

What are Oil Seals? 6 Things DIYers Should Know
Type ‘C’ oil seal has an additional cup inserted into the outer cup of ‘B’ type. The supplementary metal inner ring provides a superior stiffness. This type is recommended for use in heavy polluted environments. As the static sealing between housing and metallic shell is limited, low viscosity media can “creep”.
