A Lip Type Seal, often referred to as an oil seal or rotary shaft seal, is used to seal the interface between a stationary housing and a moving shaft. In equipment, it is commonly used in hydraulic motors, pumps, gearboxes, and drive units to retain lubricants and block external contaminants like dirt, water, and dust. The seal features a flexible elastomer lip that maintains consistent contact with the rotating shaft. This lip is backed by a metal casing that fits securely within a bore, ensuring the seal remains stable during operation. In operation, the lip deflects slightly to create a tight barrier. As the shaft rotates, a thin film of lubricant is maintained under the lip edge, which reduces wear and helps cool the seal. These seals are key in maintaining system pressure, protecting internal components, and ensuring long-term reliability in rugged working environments.Attributes:• Metal-reinforced casing for a tight fit.• Temperature and pressure resistant.• Prevents leakage of hydraulic fluid or lubricant and blocks contaminants at the shaft.Applications: A Lip Type Seal is installed around rotating shafts in piston motors of the final drive to prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid or lubricant and block contaminants at the shaft.
