A wide range of industries rely on oil seals to ensure optimal operation of mechanical assemblies. Components in the industrial and automotive fields, such as pumps, fans, electric motors, and other rotating or moving parts, use oil seals to maintain lubrication and keep contaminants from entering the shaft. Seals are especially useful in applications exposed to extreme environmental temperatures and pressures.
Rubber materials, operational temperature ranges and their compatibility with fluids
Have you found the right oil seal for your application? The next step is fitting the oil seal correctly, so that it remains undamaged.
O.D. (outside diameter) surface The O.D. surface affixes the oil seal to the housing and prevents leakage , through the fitting area, of substances to be sealed, while excluding contaminants.
Fluid Types - Various oil seals are able to withstand interactions with oils, fuels, grease, water and more. Knowing what type of fluid the rotary shaft seal will be in constant contact with will ensure the longevity of the seal and surrounding components.
Rubber type
Fluoro natural rubber (FPM - FKM - Viton)

(no lead marks)
A synthetic rubber used in gaskets, o rings, lip seals, and other moulded devices, Viton offers sealing properties for a range of oil-based applications. Viton with high fluorine grades will also produce excellent resistance to swell, especially in oxygenated fuel and high-octane blends.
Rubber type
Choosing the wrong materials for an oil seal may result in premature wear, lip hardening, cracks, swelling, and subsequent expensive damage to the machinery in which the seal is used. It is therefore vital to gather all relevant data and consult with experts before purchasing to match the right type of oil seal with your application.
