Oil seals for cars
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.


Silicone
Wide temperature range
Commonly used in low temperature applications
Very prone to mechanical damage during fitting
First, an elastomer, most often nitrile, is vulcanised to a metal ring. This creates a stiffening effect that includes a specialised metal tension spring directly behind the sealing lip, keeping the oil seal firmly in place against the moving part.
One of the key advantages of neoprene foam gaskets is their resilience and durability. Neoprene is known for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as exposure to water, UV rays, and ozone. This resilience makes neoprene foam gaskets a reliable choice for outdoor applications where the gaskets may be exposed to the elements.

Assembling the oil seals is only possible with the right assembly tools. Due to the high risk of damage during assembly, it is important that you have tools with which you can work carefully. A bearing fitting tool set is ideal.

The garter spring is located at the end of the primary sealing lip and used to apply pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft. Common garter spring material types are:
OIL SEAL (LIP SEAL) VS. MECHANICAL SEAL: PROS & CONS OF EACH
Lubricants applied between moving and stationary elements of mechanical equipment help to prevent damage. But when the equipment are under high pressure, the lubricants tend to escape, hence the need for oil seals to prevent the clashing of dry parts. Practically all mechanical equipment, including car engines, assembly machines, and PTFE machined parts use these oil seals to prevent harmful interaction that can result in damaged parts.
