Shaft oil seals are an essential component in machinery and equipment used in various industries. They play a crucial role in preventing the leakage of fluids and keeping contaminants out of the system, ensuring smooth operation and prolonging the lifespan of the machinery.

ERIKS type GV (type C according to DIN) is equivalent to type M, but is a heavy-duty version with a double metal casing. This can be a useful solution with larger diameters in more demanding applications. There is also a version of this type with a dust lip; the GVST (type CS according to DIN).
Today, traditional oil seals have to compete with a new variant oil seal, which is used in most modern engines.
Another critical factor to consider is the type of seal most suitable for particular machinery. When selecting your mechanical sealing solution, assess your machine’s shaft speed, temperature, pressure, environment, and the medium coming into contact with the seal during an operation. These factors help determine the color, size, sealing element, lip material to choose from, and if it can be sealed out or sealed in.
Oil seals require sufficient time to solidify and cure. Premature use of equipment with newly installed oil seals can compromise the integrity of the oil seal and may damage your machine. Refer to the supplied instructions for the time frame allocated for the seal to cure.
