In the UK, customers have a range of options for purchasing oil seals. There are several reputable UK gasket manufacturers that offer a wide selection of oil seals to meet various industrial needs.
The History and Applications of Oil Seals
An oil seal normally consists of three basic components: the sealing element, the metal case and the spring. The purpose of the sealing element is to stop the fluid from leaking between the shaft and housing. The metal case will give rigidity and strength to the seal while it is being held in the bore or recessed groove. The garter spring ensures constant pressure and maintains the radial force to the shaft, flattening the sealing edge to a defined width. The garter spring maintains the radial force exerted by the sealing lip around the shaft surface. All materials must be selected depending on the environment in which the oil seal will function.
Selecting the right oil seal involves comprehensively evaluating your application’s needs and conditions. Below are the key factors to consider when choosing an oil seal:
To do this, turn the engine with a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt until the rotor arm is pointing to the plug contact of the timing cylinder (usually No. 1, check in the car service manual), and the timing marks on or behind the pulley show exactly top dead centre ( TDC ).

An effective way to ensure particles do not contaminate your oil seal is to store it in a container or sealed bag away from areas where dust and debris are prevalent. Resealable, heavy-duty plastics bags and bins are ideal for keeping your shaft seal protected.
