- The installation process of the 12x22x5 oil seal requires meticulous attention to detail. It involves carefully cleaning the mating surfaces, using the appropriate tools to avoid damage to the seal during fitting, and ensuring that the seal is perfectly aligned within its groove. Any misstep can result in an imperfect seal, leading to the very problems the seal is designed to prevent.
- Oil seals are used in a wide range of machinery and equipment, including engines, gearboxes, pumps, and hydraulic systems. They can be found in cars, trucks, industrial machinery, and even household appliances. Without oil seals, these machines would not be able to operate efficiently or effectively, leading to costly repairs and downtime.
• More compact thanks to the thin plate (uses a high-strength steel plate)

These are comparable to type R and RST, except the outer case does not have a metal reinforcement ring. To compensate, the outside is not made of normal rubber, but a hard, heavy-duty rubber fabric. The advantage is that these types can be made in a split version. They are almost always produced to order, and made of NBR or FKM.
If the seal is being fitted to original equipment you may have some influence over the shaft and housing bore finish, but if you are replacing a worn seal you still need to take into account the condition of these 2 essential parts.
The primary function of an oil seal is to create a barrier between the rotating or moving parts of a machine and prevent oil or other fluids from leaking out. This helps to ensure that the machinery operates smoothly and efficiently without any loss of lubrication or contamination of the surrounding environment. In addition to preventing leakage, oil seals also help to retain lubricant within the system, extending the life of the equipment.
