The simplest way is to know either the preferred manufacturers part number, the overall sizes of shaft diameter, housing diameter and bore depth, or use our brochure to establish the M Barnwell Services ordering reference. Many of the old traditional names of seal manufacturers have either changed or disappeared in this age of “acquisitions”. If no longer available, we will advise you and offer a suitable alternative seal, from stock whenever possible. If your concern is getting the right seals for the job, you will need to know something about the application as well as the overall sizes. If you have any doubts – contact us, we will help in your seal selection.

Global O-Ring and Seal’s oil seal part numbers are designed to describe the seal size, style, and material composition. When searching for oil seals via our online store, you will not only be presented with your selection but with comparable oil seals of the same dimensions. There are often viable style substitutions that are functionally compatible but with additional features. With over 50,000 unique oil seals in our database, you can cross-reference 215,000 part numbers of OEMs and Manufacturers. In the Search Bar above, simply type the OEM/manufacturer part number alone (no need to type the name), and the oil seals matching that part number will be displayed.
