With minor lip type Used for applications where there are contaminants, such as dust and foreign matter, on the air side face of the oil seal.
- In conclusion, hub oil seals are a vital component in maintaining the performance and longevity of machinery. Their ability to create a tight seal, adapt to changing conditions, and ensure compatibility with various fluids make them an indispensable tool in a wide range of industrial applications. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see further improvements in the design and performance of these crucial devices.
- A chainsaw, a powerful tool in the world of forestry and landscaping, relies heavily on a small yet crucial component the spark plug. This diminutive device is the heartbeat of the engine, igniting the fuel mixture to create the power needed for the saw's operation. Understanding and maintaining your chainsaw's spark plug is an essential aspect of ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

- However, the importance of the small rubber gasket is often overlooked until a problem arises. When a gasket fails, it can result in a domino effect of issues ranging from minor inconveniences to catastrophic system failures. Thus, regular inspection and prompt replacement are crucial to avoid potentially disastrous consequences.

After the oil seal is positioned in the groove, apply even pressure to the oil seal using a seal driver or a similar tool. This will help to seat the oil seal firmly in the groove and prevent it from moving during use. Make sure to apply the pressure evenly and gently, as applying too much force can damage the oil seal or cause it to deform.
These seals are more commonly used in pumps, motors both electric & hydraulic, gearboxes & occasionally dirt wipers in hydraulic cylinders. They help protect shafts and bearings from dirt and harmful contaminants entering the internals of the application that they are fitted to, as well as prevent any leaks of lubricant.
Types of oil seals include:

These types are made with a metal outer case and a PTFE lip. They are suitable for a wide range of temperatures from -90 °C to +260 °C.These lip seals can also be used for higher pressures of up to 10 bar (special types up to 25 bar) and rotational speeds of up to 40-45 m/s. Certain grades of PTFE are suitable for use in pharmaceutical and food applications. One important point is that PTFE lip seals do require a shaft with a harder, smoother finish.
