The sealing process involves the interaction between the rotating shaft and the elastomeric material, resulting in a dynamic barrier that prevents fluid leakage and maintains system integrity.
- In the realm of machinery and equipment, the oil seal serves as a vital component, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of the system. This tiny yet indispensable device is designed to prevent the leakage of fluids, such as oil and grease, while allowing for the rotation of moving parts.

- Note! Seals with housing also require screws to be tightened according to factory guidelines.
A standard oil seal consists of an outer circular metal disk with an inner flexible rubber which is affixed to the metal during vulcanization. The bonded seal has no loose parts to allow leakage of oil or ingress of any contaminants. This kind of seal is more accurate, and can easily be fitted into a smaller space. An example is shown in Figure 2.9.

What is an oil seal and how does it work?
Viton®
One way to recognize an improperly installed seal is by checking whether or not there is uneven shearing of the rubber after use. If this is evident, adjust by aligning the installation tools properly before pressing the seal into place.
While Viton offers a superior temperature and chemical range than other materials, it can be more expensive than the others as well. Let’s take a look at an alternative that is easier on the wallet, Polyacrylate.
Smear clean engine oil on the pulley sleeve and seal, then refit the pulley with the key and keyway aligned. Tighten the bolt to the correct torque (consult a service manual or a dealer if in doubt).
In addition to the installation procedure, our specialists and suppliers would also like to draw your attention to some cases that occur around oil seals.
