Car Oil Seal Types and Applications
What is an Oil Seal?

Oil seals are commonly used in engines, gearboxes, and other rotating machinery to prevent the leakage of oil from shafts and bearings. They are typically made from rubber or elastomeric materials that are resistant to oil and heat. The seal is installed in a housing or bore that is larger than the shaft, and it is pressed against the shaft to create a tight seal.




Oil seals are installed beside the bearing while the flexible lip is pressed against the rotating shaft. The casing pressing into the housing holds the seal in place. The sealing lip is essentially lubricated to minimize the risk of overheating due to the generated friction.
