Oil seals

Oil seals, also known as shaft seals or rotary seals, are mechanical components designed to prevent the leakage of fluids or lubricants from rotating or reciprocating shafts. They are commonly used in a variety of industrial applications to protect bearings, gears, and other components from contamination and ensure smooth operation.

Oil seals are typically made from elastomeric materials such as nitrile, fluor-elastomer, or silicone, which are capable of maintaining their sealing properties over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. They feature a flexible lip that makes contact with the shaft and prevents fluid from leaking along the shaft surface.
