- The dimensions specified in its name—12x22x5—are not arbitrary; they reflect the seal's diameter, height, and thickness, respectively. These measurements must be exact to guarantee a snug fit within the housing it is designed to protect. The 12mm diameter signifies a compact size, ideal for smaller mechanisms where space is at a premium. The 22mm height suggests that this seal is robust enough to withstand a reasonable amount of pressure without failing. Finally, the 5mm thickness ensures that the seal has enough substance to create a reliable barrier against both the outward flow of oil and the ingress of foreign particles.

Shaft Speed - Considering the speed that the shaft will be moving, the runout, the housing bore and the type of oil being sealed is vital to making sure you select an oil seal that will not suffer from abrasions or spiralling.
Oil seals keep contaminants separate from the lubricants that keep rotating shafts and precision bearings in good working order. Oil seals are also known as rotary shaft seals, lip seals, and shaft seals.
