Understanding Oil Seals

Oil seals can be found in driveshafts, crankshafts, and hydraulic cylinders, where they help lubricate a rotating shaft using oil or grease. Typically, they are made of metal encased in rubber, supported by a garter spring on the inner lip.

Single vs. Double Lips

What is the difference between single and double lips? Double-lipped rotary seals provide additional protection against contaminants like dust and dirt.

Choosing the Right Size

What is the best size? For precise sizing, consult our Oil Seal Tolerance Guide. Generally, oil seals require a tight tolerance between the outer diameter and housing. The garter spring, however, allows for a slightly larger tolerance to help reduce friction with the rotating shaft.
