9 Factors for Selecting Oil Seals
The oil seal is generally composed of three basic components: sealing element, metal shell and clamping spring.Types of oil seals include single and double lips, rubber or polymer, metal housing, spring loaded, and internal, external and axial guides.

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.
Advantages of Silicone and Rubber Gaskets
If the shaft or housing gets damaged, it must be repaired. If you replace only the oil seal, but the shaft or bore remain damaged, then there is a chance of premature failure or leakage. You can easily repair the shaft, for example using an SKF Speedi-Sleeve.
