Most oil seals are designed to support very low-pressure (8 psi or less) applications. If at all, there will be additional pressure along the way, pressure relief should be put into play. This is why it’s important to know the characteristics of the oil seals you are considering and compare them with your application.

Entry of dust and debris is one of the most common reasons oil seals fail. For instance, in high-pressure applications, even the smallest sediments can create a gap in the seal, causing the oil to leak and dirt to get in.
