BENEFITS OF OIL SEALS
Rubber Gasket - The dimensions specified in its name—12x22x5—are not arbitrary; they reflect the seal's diameter, height, and thickness, respectively. These measurements must be exact to guarantee a snug fit within the housing it is designed to protect. The 12mm diameter signifies a compact size, ideal for smaller mechanisms where space is at a premium. The 22mm height suggests that this seal is robust enough to withstand a reasonable amount of pressure without failing. Finally, the 5mm thickness ensures that the seal has enough substance to create a reliable barrier against both the outward flow of oil and the ingress of foreign particles.
A typical oil seal consists of three common parts: an outer ring, the sealing element, and a spring. The exterior metal ring component provides strength and rigidity to the oil seal in the bore or recessed groove. Attached to that ring is the sealing element. This flexible interior component of the oil seal, the O-ring, prevents any fluid leaks between the shaft and housing. A spring ensures the constant pressure that deforms the O-ring, creating a reliable seal while maintaining radial force on the shaft.

The oil seal is our first line of defense in regards to keeping lubrication inside the reducer. It might also be described as the last line of defense – keeping contaminants outside the reducer where they belong. The average seal is incredibly simple in design – made up of a case, a lip or lips, and frequently a garter spring. Of course, some are exponentially more intricate and are manufactured with unusual materials, but the majority are straightforward.
