Seals play an integral role in hydraulic cylinders by preventing the hydraulic fluid from leaking out of the cylinder while also keeping contaminants out. Over time, seals can become damaged or degraded due to exposure to extreme temperatures, pressure fluctuations, and abrasive materials. A compromised seal can lead to fluid leaks, which not only reduces the system’s efficiency but also can cause environmental concerns and increase operational costs.

Shaft oil seals, often referred to as rotary shaft seals or simply oil seals, are vital components in a wide array of machinery and automotive applications. They play a crucial role in preventing the leakage of lubricants from rotating shafts while keeping out contaminants such as dirt, dust, and moisture. These seals are critical for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of mechanical systems, making it essential to understand their design, functionality, and maintenance requirements.

The TCN oil seal is constructed from a compound known as nitrile rubber (NBR), which is known for its excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and other chemicals. The triple-chamber design of the TCN seal/contains three distinct sealing lips that enhance its ability to maintain a tight seal, thereby preventing fluid leakage and protecting machinery components from contaminants.
