It is crucial to understand that oil seals, like any other mechanical component, are subject to failure over time. The key to minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency is recognizing the signs of oil seal failure and understanding its reasons. Here are some common failure modes:
: spiral shaped, ensures constant pressure and maintains the optimal force to the shaft.
a)
Leather
Recommended for abrasive applications
Good running properties, due to the impregnated seal lip
Can be used on shafts which have a surface roughness outside the range for rubber seals
Not suitable for water




Oil seals, also known as rotary shaft seals or lip seals, are a specific type of gasket designed to prevent the leakage of oil or other fluids in rotating shafts.
