What Are Oil Seals? Oil Seal Applications & Uses

Figure 1: Types of sealing devices
In conclusion, oil seals are essential components in machinery and equipment that play a critical role in preventing oil leaks and ensuring smooth operation. The 65x90x10 oil seal, with its specific size and design, offers reliable sealing performance for a wide range of applications. By selecting the right size, material, and design, and following proper installation and maintenance procedures, operators can effectively protect their equipment and prolong its service life.

The sealing lip is always made of a rubber or synthetic material. For oil seals with a rubber outer case (R, RST, GR, GRST), the rubber quality of the sealing lip and the outer case are the same.
Importance of Quality Oil Seals in Automotive Applications:
If the seal is being fitted to original equipment you may have some influence over the shaft and housing bore finish, but if you are replacing a worn seal you still need to take into account the condition of these 2 essential parts. Check for sharp edges and burrs – particularly on the shaft and housing chamfers or you could ruin the seal before you start up. If the shaft is too worn consider using an M Barnwell Services Shaft Repair Kit.
They are typically made from elastomers such as rubber or silicone and consist of an outer metal case with a sealing lip on the inner side.
Ultimately, oil seals are devices that help to exclude dust and dirt, etc., while at all times retaining the lubricant in the piece of equipment.
A final step in preparation for assembly is to lubricate the shaft, sealing lip and bore with sufficient oil. This will allow the oil seal to slide more easily over the shaft and prevent dry running after the first rotation. Always use oil or grease that is compatible with the oil seal material. In addition, when sliding over the shaft, the oil seal comes into contact with the keyway, threads and grooves. By taping or covering the shaft at the location of these irregularities with oil-soaked paper, the oil seal can be mounted without damage to the sealing lip.
