What are Oil Seals and how do they work?

The first step to properly installing an o-ring is to select an appropriate lubricant to lightly coat the o-ring.

Choosing the wrong materials for an oil seal may result in premature wear, lip hardening, cracks, swelling, and subsequent expensive damage to the machinery in which the seal is used. It is therefore vital to gather all relevant data and consult with experts before purchasing to match the right type of oil seal with your application.
