The most important function of an oil seal is to protect all types of sleeves, roller bearings, and balls located in the rotary shafts. These seals also prevent two fluids from mixing, such as water and oil.
Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.
By first finding out the dimensions of the inner and outer diameters and the height of the bore, you have all the data for the correct size of the oil seal. Of course, the oil seal must also be able to withstand the pressure, temperature and medium it is exposed to within the seal during the manufacturing process. You can read more about this in our oil seal selection guide.
