What are Oil Seals?

• There are many rubber products that are found
  in all around us and we dont know about them.
  The oil seal is one of them. They are rotary
  shaft seals and their main purpose is to seal the
  gap between fixed and moving components.
• Oil seals prevent the lubricant from
  escaping therefore there isnt any contamination
  via the opening. In other words, oil seals
  function as a physical barrier to keep the
  lubricating oil in its place and prevent its
  leakage. Also, external bodies like dirt cant
  enter the system when there is an oil seal.
• Oils seals are of several types and
  materials based on what they have to be used for.
  The choice of material depends on the application
  for which the oil seal is to be used. The
  applications include domestic equipments,
  automobile, industrial pumps, power plant
  equipment, turbines used in aircrafts and
  compressors.

• O-rings are widely used as seals. AS 568 is a
  standard for O-rings from the Society of
  Automotive Engineers. It is SAE that specifies
  the standard sizes of o-rings.
• Other important rubber products used widely
  in various industries include vibration mounts,
  conveyor belt, and rubber sheet. When they are of
  top quality they can serve the purpose well.
• Oil seals are used as a physical barrier to
  seal and prevent the leakage of lubricant oil and
  keep it in its place. They are used in several
  industries.
