- An oil seal is a vital component in the automotive industry, serving as a barrier to prevent oil leakage and contamination in various machinery and equipment. The size of an oil seal is typically denoted by its dimensions, such as 50 * 72 * 10, which indicates the inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness of the seal, respectively.
- A mechanical tool called an oil seal keeps lubricant from leaking out of the machine. It accomplishes its goal by sealing the equipment’s moving and stationary parts. Additionally, it prevents impurities from getting inside the machine and shortens its lifespan, an important role it completes. Numerous oil seals exist, including PTFE lip oil seals, rubber fabric oil seals, and rotating V-seals. An oil seal kit is a set of oil seals with the necessary dimensions and desired characteristics. An oil seal kit is more cost-effective and advantageous than buying individual oil seals.

Purpose of oil seal
The most important function of an oil seal is to protect all types of sleeves, roller bearings, and balls located in the rotary shafts. These seals also prevent two fluids from mixing, such as water and oil.

How to Choose the Right Oil Seal
DIN
Oil seals increasingly had to meet higher requirements, which is why PTFE was developed in 1980. This variant can better withstand higher engine speeds, higher oil temperatures, longer oil intervals and modern lubricants. In addition, the oil seal contains a wider contact surface, which ensures less wear.
When selecting the oil seal that is right for your machine, it is important that the oil seal be appropriate for the requirements of the usage environment and that it be easily acquired for replacement.
In this month's column, How to select the right oil seal, we conveyed the following points:
1) Oil seal shape and material should be selected based on the housing, substance to be sealed, pressure, rotational speed, total eccentricity, and air-side conditions.
2) Oil seals can show good sealing performance in combination with properly designed shafts and housings.
3) Oil seal performance is affected by not only the type and material of the selected oil seal, but also a variety of other factors, such as operating conditions, total eccentricity, rotational speed, the substance to be sealed, and lubrication conditions. For this reason, diligent care is required in oil seal selection.
Fluid side face The front-end face of the seal is called the nose. The nose is made of rubber and forms a gasket seal when compressed on the housing shoulder.
