Oil seals are used to protect shafts and bearings from the ingress of dirt and foreign objects and the escape of oil or grease. Oil seals usually consist of an external round metal part and an internal flexible element that makes the actual seal and is bonded to the metal part by a chemical adhesive.
An O-Ring is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a ring; it is an elastomeric ring with a circular cross-section designed to fit in a groove and be compressed during assembly between two or more parts to create a seal at the interface.
O-rings are used to block a path that could allow liquids or gases to escape. The O-ring is placed in a groove to hold it in place and then compressed between two surfaces.
O-rings can be used in static applications or dynamic applications where there is relative motion between the part and the O-ring.

Oil seals are used in a wide range of applications, from household equipment to automotive and power plant machinery, industrial pumps, gas and aircraft turbines and compressors.
When deciding if an Oil Seal or O-Ring is best for your application, consider the environment and function of the seal. Pay attention to characteristics such as shape, temperature and pressure when selecting the best seal.

Where And Why Do You Use O-rings?
O-Rings have some amazing properties that make them an important part of many precision engineering devices. They naturally tend to regain their original shape when the cross section is stressed, which means they are one of the most economical and reliable ways to make a strong seal possible.

Are you looking to keep your machinery free from any unwanted leakages but aren’t sure which rotary shaft seal is right for your needs?

Over the past 120 years or so, the field of engineering, manufacturing and component design has changed so radically that O-rings have remained more or less the same in form and function.

An oil seal normally consists of three basic components: The Sealing Element (the nitrile rubber part), the Metal Case, and the Spring. It is a widely used sealing component.

Oil seals are rotary shaft seals that close a gap between stationary and moving components and prevent lubricant to escape and thus stop contamination through the clearance.
There are different types of oil seals that fit a different application and surroundings and are made out of different materials.
The common radial oil seals works by creating a thin layer of oil between the rubber sealing lip and the shaft which results in the oil lifting the sealing lip clear of the shaft.
This thin layer of oil performs a barrier and prevents leakage of the oil past the sealing lip.
Oil seals are used to protect shafts and bearings from ingress of dirt and foreign matter and egress of oil or grease.
Oil seals, often called a rotary shaft seal or grease seal, closes the gap between stationary and moving components in mechanical equipment.
Oil seals are one of the most frequently used rotary shaft seals. They separate oil or grease on the inside from dirt, dust and/or water on the outside.
Oil seals close spaces between stationary and moving components and are used to protect all types of ball and roller bearings.
Our oil seals are used to ensure smooth operation of plant, vehicles and machinery, and are available in a number of materials.
An O-ring is a gasket or seal with a circular cross section. It must be set in a groove to create a seal between two parts.
TC oil seal isolates the part of the drive that needs to be lubricated from the output part so that the lubricant will not leak. Static and dynamic (usually reciprocating) seals are called oil seals.
The TC profile is a shaft seal consisting of a rubber-coated metal cage, a main seal lip with an integrated spring and an additional anti-pollution seal lip.
Oil seals are used to protect shafts and bearings from the ingress of dirt and foreign objects and the escape of oil or grease.
The oil seal usually consists of an external round metal part and an internal flexible element which makes the actual seal and is bonded to the metal part by means of a chemical adhesive.
The O-ring is used to block the path of possible escape of liquids or gases. The O-ring is placed into a groove to hold it in place and then compressed between the two surfaces.
O rings are used to block a path which may otherwise allow a liquid or a gas to escape.
The o ring is placed into a groove to secure them in place, and then compressed between two surfaces.
O-rings are mechanical gaskets with a round cross section. They are used to prevent gas and fluid leaks in static and dynamic applications and are manufactured from various types of elastomers.
An O-Ring is a solid-rubber seal shaped like a dough nut or torus. When compressed between mating surfaces, an O-Ring blocks the passage of liquids or gases.
Oil seals are used in a wide range of applications, from household equipment to automotive and power plant machinery, industrial pumps, gas and aircraft turbines and compressors.
