A rotary shaft seal is a seal used to seal a rotating shaft. This product is made of an elastomer and a metal structure, which allows it to be waterproof and dustproof. Rotary shaft seals are generally used on the following applications: crankshafts, gearboxes, universal joints, camshafts, wheels, etc. They are also used to protect bearings.
Today, there are many different types of lip seals. Indeed, these seal models are declined depending on the profile, the dimensions as well as the material in order to answer in an optimal way to the various constraints and applications. You will find below the different characteristics of the profiles as well as the different materials.
First of all, it is important to know that the references on the rotary shaft seals cannot be used effectively to identify them. This is because each manufacturer uses its own part number for these parts. The best way to identify a rotary shaft seal is to measure the assembly: diameter of the shaft, diameter of the housing and thickness of the seal. These dimensions are regularly engraved on the seal. In order to help you, here is an example of a seal reference at 123Roulement :
OAS-35X47X7-NBR :
If not specified, the sealing rings have no direction of rotation (no oil reflux grooves). You can therefore use them without worrying about the direction of rotation.
Although it may vary depending on the mounting, the side with the spring is usually mounted on the liquid or viscous side (oil, grease, water, etc.). There is a variant of the rotary shaft seal with a spring on each side, which is known as the "CK" type. It is recommended when the seal must be made between two liquids (oil and oil, water and oil, etc.)
