What are oil seals?
Runout must be kept to a minimum. Movement of the center of rotation is usually caused by bearing wobble or shaft whip. When coupled with misalignment, this problem is compounded. Contrary to popular belief and common practice, the installation of flexible couplings cannot correct or compensate for misalignment.
Since oil seals are versatile and multipurpose, they are suitable for all types of mechanical engineering situations, e.g., manufacturing units, automobiles, pumps, etc.


It is important to choose the right type of oil seal for a given application, as it may need to address specific operational concerns such as:

The oil seal gets its structural stability from an interior metal ring which serves as an inner skeleton. The outer skin is made of a more flexible material like nitrile rubber or other materials based on the physical environment of the seal. A spring on the lip of the seal supports the lip and keeps the lubricant from leaking. The lip construction is what blocks contaminants from outside.
