1. Leak Prevention The most significant function of oil seals is to prevent the leakage of lubrication fluids from within a mechanical system. Oil leaks can lead to reduced lubrication, resulting in increased friction, overheating, and ultimately premature wear or failure of components.
Shaft seals serve as barriers between rotating shafts and stationary components. They are integral in containing lubricants and preventing external contaminants from entering the machinery. In high-temperature environments, the challenges are amplified. High temperature shaft seals must resist thermal degradation, maintain their sealing properties, and endure the harsh conditions often present in such settings.

In summary, the key difference between angular contact and radial contact bearings lies in their ability to support combined radial and axial loads (angular contact bearings) versus primarily supporting radial loads (radial contact bearings). Each type of bearing is tailored to meet specific operational requirements and environmental conditions in diverse industrial applications.
