Examination item Oil or other seals can be used for grease and oil seals. A flexible lip, radial lip, or rotating shaft seal are different names for an oil seal. Single lip, double lip, triple lip, and four or more lips are frequent configurations. Double dust lip seal A seal with a garter spring design is the Double Dust Lip (DDL) seal. It has two dust lips, as the name would imply, plus a fluid lip with a garter spring to keep the lip firmly attached to the wear ring. Given the ongoing evolution of bearing seal designs, this seal would be considered a starting seal. For more than 50 years, this design has been the workhorse of the freight business; it still is in some regions. NBC Brenco Bearing Seal performs the fundamental task of keeping contaminants and grease out. Because of the garter spring, this seal would add the most torque and temperature to the bearing. Efficiency plus bearing seals Due to eliminating the fluid lip using poly inserts and rotors, the Efficiency Plus (EP) seal has a reduced torque value of fewer than 15 in-lbs. Although it features a triple dust lip rather than a double dust lip, the dust lip is still a molded component of the design. A labyrinth-like insert and rotor interlock each other to replace the fluid lip. NBC Brenco labyrinth provides excellent grease while lowering the torque required to rotate the seal. Other types of oil seal and grease seals include:
Type 1 - * Material The seal is typically made from high-quality rubber or synthetic materials, which offer excellent resistance to heat, oil, and other harsh chemicals. This ensures long-lasting performance and reliability.
- Choosing the right type of pulley oil seal is critical. Materials like rubber, nitrile, or synthetic compounds are commonly used due to their flexibility, resistance to temperature extremes, and compatibility with various types of oils. The design of the seal, whether it's a single lip or double lip, also impacts its effectiveness in preventing leaks and blocking contaminants The design of the seal, whether it's a single lip or double lip, also impacts its effectiveness in preventing leaks and blocking contaminants

- Do not top up engine oil and do not start the engine until four hours after assembly. This is advised by both Elring and Victor Reinz to allow the new oil seals to form to the shaft.
Oil seals are widely used as sealing devices for machines.
JTEKT's oil seals are described in our catalog, Oil Seals & O-Rings.
However, the catalog uses a large number of technical terms and is very long, so many people seem to have trouble handling it.
Therefore, this series of columns will summarize the following in order:
• The structure, functions, and types of oil seals
• How to select the right oil seal
• Handling of seals, and causes and countermeasures for oil seal failure
