What are Oil Seals and how do they work?
O-rings, which are also referred to as oil seal rings or oil ring seals, are designed to join two parts and ensure that no air, moisture, or gas is allowed to pass through. They are usually inserted into a groove and manufactured to resist pressure. The resistance is what stops foreign elements from entering or leaving the joining.
