- TC oil sealing, an essential aspect of engineering and mechanical systems, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficiency and longevity of various industrial equipment. This specialized sealing technique is specifically designed to prevent the leakage of oils and other lubricants, thereby maintaining optimal performance and preventing potential damage.

How do oil seals work?
-
Rubber type


Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.


Wilmink Engine Parts offers a wide range of oil seals for various applications and engines. Poor-quality oil seals can cause problems. Our range offers only quality brands and our specialists will be happy to help you choose the right product for your application. Below, we highlight some of our brands with their catalogues around oil seals.
An oil seal has two tasks: Keeping the lubricant in and keeping dirt and contaminants out of rotating components. This separation must be accomplished between surfaces in relative motion, usually a shaft or bearing inner ring and a housing. With correct installation, oil seals can also prevent seal leakage and maintain the lubricity of a bearing to ensure that the rotary shaft and its bearings remain fully functional.
Material: There are several material options. Nitrile (Blank), Viton (V), Silicone (S), EPDM (E), Carboxylated Nitrile (X), HNBR (H), Polyacrylate (P), and Teflon (T).
A shaft oil seal, also known as a lip seal, is typically made of rubber or other flexible materials, with a lip that seals against the rotating shaft. It is designed to effectively seal the interface between the shaft and the housing, preventing the entry of dirt, dust, water, and other contaminants that could potentially damage the machinery.
Oil seals, which are also referred to as radial shaft seals, rotary shaft seals, grease seals, or fluid seals, are used to close the gaps between fixed and moving parts of mechanical equipment. They are put between moving and stationary mechanical parts to make sure that moisture, contaminants, corrosive materials, and abrasives don’t cause any damage to these parts.
