Oil seals come in many different types and materials depending on their application. Determining the material is vital to ensuring your equipment is operating at its best performance. For example, your equipment may need to run at higher temperature applications, such as an engine seal for a jet engine, you may need to choose a specific material for your oil seals to run properly. In this article, we will explore the most popular and utilized materials in the industry, as well as touch on some of the more unique options out there.
B) Housing-bore eccentricity
As shown in Figure 9, housing-bore eccentricity is defined as being twice the eccentricity between the housing-bore center and shaft rotation center.

The outer part of an oil seal is made of metal or rubber, depending on the intended application. Metal-cased seals are a cost-effective option used when the housing bore is made of the same material, allowing for equal expansion and contraction of the materials during use. Rubber-cased oil seals provide a tight fit and are commonly used when metal-cased seals have the potential to fail. They are corrosion-resistant and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures.

Another benefit of neoprene foam gaskets is their versatility. These gaskets are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses to meet the specific requirements of different applications. Whether it's a simple O-ring seal or a complex custom gasket design, neoprene foam gaskets can be tailored to fit the unique needs of various industries.
What is Oil Seal
If the drive gear has slanting teeth, they may cause the rotor arm to turn. If it does, mark its new position to aid refitting
What are bearing isolators?
As type A with dust lip
Choose a seal that has the appropriate dimension needed for your application. The seal should properly fit the space between the stationary and rotating parts.
Metal O.D. wall type Ensures improved fitting retention between the seal O.D. and the housing bore.
