The hydrodynamic ribsa) provided in one direction on the air side face of the lip ensure higher sealing performance. Perfect Seal The hydrodynamic ribsa) provided in two directions on the air side face of the lip ensure higher sealing performance (higher sealing performance in both rotational directions of the shaft).

Oil seals, also known as oil lip seals, dirt seals, grease seals, shaft seals, or rotary seals, are used to fill the gaps between stationary and revolving parts of the equipment. They are designed to prevent the leakage of fluids from the machinery and inhibit contaminants from reaching these fluids. They contribute to the longevity and reliability of the equipment like engines and gearboxes in industrial equipment. This post discusses the importance of oil seals, the different types of materials that are used in the manufacturing of oil seals and many more.
By preventing lubricants from escaping, they protect key components of machinery from being damaged by leaks of various fluids. Everything from car engines to assembly machines use these oil seals to remain free from any harmful interactions that can cause serious and expensive damage to any of their critical parts.
