One of the key benefits of floating oil seals is their ability to provide a secure and reliable seal even in high-pressure environments. Unlike traditional seals that rely on compression to create a seal, floating oil seals utilize a unique design that allows them to float on the oil and adjust their position as needed to maintain an effective seal. This design not only enhances the reliability of the seal but also helps to prolong the lifespan of the seal by reducing wear and tear.

A standard oil seal consists of an outer circular metal disk with an inner flexible rubber which is affixed to the metal during vulcanization. The bonded seal has no loose parts to allow leakage of oil or ingress of any contaminants. This kind of seal is more accurate, and can easily be fitted into a smaller space. An example is shown in Figure 2.9.
