In industrial machinery, skeleton oil seals are utilized in gearboxes, pumps, and compressors
. These seals protect the internal components from environmental contaminants and ensure that the lubricants remain intact, thus reducing wear and tear on machinery. The robustness of skeleton oil seals makes them ideal for high-performance applications where reliability is paramount.
Shaft oil seals typically consist of a flexible sealing lip made from elastomeric materials such as rubber, polyurethane, or silicone, encased in a sturdy outer shell. The sealing lip makes contact with the rotating shaft, creating a barrier that effectively retains lubricants while blocking unwanted particles. The design may include additional features such as garter springs to maintain contact with the shaft and improve sealing effectiveness over time.
