MECHANICAL SEAL
Lip temperature - Regular maintenance and inspection of high pressure oil seals are important to ensure they are functioning correctly. Over time, seals can wear out or become damaged, leading to leaks and potential system failures. By monitoring the condition of the seals and replacing them when necessary, equipment owners can avoid costly repairs and downtime.
Regular inspection and maintenance of engine oil seals, power steering oil seals, and motor oil seals are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Proper lubrication and adherence to recommended service intervals can help extend the lifespan of these seals. When replacement is necessary, selecting the correct seal type and ensuring proper installation are critical to maintaining the integrity and performance of the vehicle's systems.

Oil seals can offer:
The basic principle of sealing is straightforward – the flexible lip is held against the rotating part (usually the shaft) whilst the casing (or O.D.) is pressed into the housing or bore and holds the seal in place. The sealing lip needs some form of lubrication to avoid overheating and is usually energized by means of a garter spring.


A wide range of industries rely on oil seals to ensure optimal operation of mechanical assemblies. Components in the industrial and automotive fields, such as pumps, fans, electric motors, and other rotating or moving parts, use oil seals to maintain lubrication and keep contaminants from entering the shaft. Seals are especially useful in applications exposed to extreme environmental temperatures and pressures.

Cassette seals are designed to maximise grease or oil retention and protection against liquid or solid contaminants. These seals are provided with their own bushings in which dirt is kept out and oil/grease kept in by a multi-lip seal.
