Oil seals serve an important function in preventing lubricant leaks by closing in the spaces between the parts of the rotary shaft equipment. They also prevent dirt, dust, and other contaminants from clogging up the unit. Having them properly installed enables engines, pumps, and pipes to operate more efficiently.

Oil seals, also referred to as shaft seals, are widely used to prevent the leakage of medium (such as oils and grease) along a rotating shaft. This leak prevention is primarily achieved by the sealing element which can be made from a wide range of materials that are chosen according to each application. They are commonly used in gearboxes, hydraulic cylinders, and related components.

They are typically made from elastomers such as rubber or silicone and consist of an outer metal case with a sealing lip on the inner side.
