4. Lip Seals Lip seals are suitable for both dynamic and static sealing applications. They feature a lip that runs along the surface of the cylinder, creating a barrier against fluid leakage.

The primary function of oil seals is to retain lubricant within a mechanical assembly. In the absence of an effective seal, lubricants can escape from the machinery, leading to increased wear and tear on moving parts, reduced efficiency, and potential failures. In industries where machinery operates under high temperatures and pressures, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, the significance of oil seals is magnified.

2. Fluid Compatibility The seal material must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid to avoid chemical degradation, which can lead to seal failure.

The design often includes a lip or multiple lips that create an effective barrier against leaks. Depending on the application, some oil seals are equipped with spring mechanisms that enhance their sealing capabilities, allowing for optimal performance in dynamic operating environments.
