Sealing edge This refers to the component of the oil seal that makes contact with the shaft.
It is wedge-shaped to be pressed against the shaft surface and makes contact with the shaft to ensure sufficient sealing performance and suitability for operation at high peripheral speed.
Even the slightest chip or dent can cause contaminants to infiltrate your oil seal. If there are any scratches on the shaft, a leak path may develop, allowing the lubricant to drip. To protect the shaft from damage, wrap it in a mesh rubber screen and store it vertically in its compartment. This way, it can be shielded from potential cracking.

An oil seal is a type of mechanical seal used to prevent the leakage of oil from machinery components. The dimensions of an oil seal are usually specified in terms of its inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness. For example, a 38x52x7 oil seal has an inner diameter of 38mm, an outer diameter of 52mm, and a thickness of 7mm.
For more severe oil-seal service at temperatures of 160°C (320°F) or higher for extended periods, more resistant fluoroelastomer compositions are required for long service life. High-fluorine VDF/PMVE/TFE elastomers, along with TFE/olefin FEPM elastomers, are much less susceptible to attack by oil additives. TFE/P fluoroelastomers have the requisite chemical resistance, but have low fluorine content, leading to relatively high swell and to soft vulcanizates with lower wear resistance than desired.


Also, Viton has the widest range of resistance to chemicals. It’s resistant to several chemicals like silicone oil & grease, mineral & vegetable oil, aliphatic, chlorinated hydrocarbons, methanol fuels, and so many more.
