The dimensions of the 14x24x6 oil seal indicate its internal diameter (14 mm), external diameter (24 mm), and the thickness (6 mm). These measurements are critical as they ensure a proper fit within the machinery where the seal is installed. The correct sizing of an oil seal is paramount; if the seal is too small, it will not provide an effective barrier, resulting in fluid leakage. Conversely, if it is too large, it may not fit securely, allowing dirt and debris to enter the system.
