High pressure rotary seals are indispensable in modern industrial applications, ensuring the effective operation of rotating machinery under demanding conditions. With their critical role in preventing leaks, maintaining pressure, and enhancing equipment reliability, continual advancements in their design and materials promise to meet the ever-evolving needs of various industries. As technology advances, so too will the performance and functionality of high pressure rotary seals, ultimately contributing to greater efficiency and sustainability in industrial operations.

There are several types of oil seals, each designed for specific applications and operating conditions. The most common types include

2. Decreased Performance If machinery is struggling to maintain pressure or perform at its usual efficiency, the seals may be compromised. Reduced power and responsiveness are often linked to worn seals.

To install an oil seal properly, the shaft must be undamaged. This is so the oil seal can do its job properly on the one hand, and to prevent it from being damaged during fitting on the other. In addition, it is very important to lubricate the shaft, the sealing lip and the bore with plenty of grease. This will allow the oil seal to slide more easily over the shaft and prevent dry running after the first rotation. The oil seal may also come into contact with the keyway, thread or other grooves when sliding over the shaft. By taping or covering the shaft at the location of these irregularities with oil-soaked paper, the oil seal can be mounted without damage to the sealing lip.

EPDM oil seals are less common. They are used in solvent, hot water and steam applications, EPDM resists low temperatures down to -50 °C and UV radiation well. Some types of EPDM are also suitable for higher temperatures up to +150 °C. EPDM oil seals are usually available upon request.
