20 35 7 oil seal. A properly selected and installed oil seal can significantly improve the performance and reliability of the equipment, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Oil seals are used to keep chemicals apart from lubricants such as oil/fat or water away to keep spinning shafts or bearings in proper working condition. Rotary shaft Seals are among the most commonly used seals for sealing lubricating oil, water or grease in different applications.
Rotary shaft or oil seals are placed between moving and stationary pieces of machinery to ensure that contaminants, moisture, corrosive materials and abrasives do not damage the various components. They can also prevent unwanted mixing of fluids, including water and oil combining within a machine.
Classical oil seals consist of a metal housing that carries the dynamic sealing lip and provides the static sealing function. These are usually manufactured of elastomer material, such as ACM, Silicone or FPM. Further, since they are in contact with the surface of the rotating shaft, the lip is pressed onto the shaft surface by means of a spring ring.
