Figure 2: Typically shaped oil seal and component nomenclature
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.

1) Seal type
There is a little leakage as the fluid vapors get released into the atmosphere from the faces of the seal, though. Since the quantity is hardly quantifiable, the seals are considered leak proof.

It is crucial to understand that oil seals, like any other mechanical component, are subject to failure over time. The key to minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency is recognizing the signs of oil seal failure and understanding its reasons. Here are some common failure modes:
