What is an Oil Seal?
Car Spark Plug: Importance and Impact on Engine Performance
Oil Seals which are also known as rotary shaft seals are used to prevent lubricants from leaking and escaping. They protect key components of the machinery from being damaged from various fluids, dirt and dust from getting inside the machines. Oil Seals are a vital component in preventing harmful interactions between moving and static parts. Without using them you could cause expensive damage and halt whole operations. Using our 6 Guidelines for oil seals will help your buying decision. You can read about the different Oil Seals we stock here.
Purpose of an Oil Seal
In this kind of seal, wider tolerances are possible between the OD of the seal and the seal housing. Irregularities of the housing surface can be taken up by the resilient rubber layer on the outside of the seal. However, the rubber covered seal can be blown out under high pressure in a reciprocating application whereas, with a metal case, there is no such danger.

Box: If a BX appears at the end of the part number, that oil seal will be in a box.
