Oil seals have a flexible lip that actually rubs against the rotating shaft or housing to prevent leakage. The spring keeps the lip in contact with the shaft. Bearing isolator oil seals are dynamic seals that incorporate a rotor or rotating member and a stator or stationary member. The rotor actually turns with the shaft. Some oil shafts are bearing isolators with a labyrinth construction. Others incorporate simpler O-rings.
