Oil Seal

At MVC Polymers, a leading manufacturer in Bangalore, we specialize in producing high-quality Oil Seals, also commonly known as rotary shaft seals or lip seals. These critical components are meticulously engineered to prevent lubricants (such as oil or grease) from leaking out of rotating or reciprocating machinery, while simultaneously protecting bearings and other precision parts from ingress of dirt, dust, and contaminants. Our oil seals are designed for superior durability, efficiency, and consistent performance in a vast array of industrial, automotive, and mechanical applications.

  • Robust Sealing Lip: The heart of the oil seal. Made from various elastomers (Nitrile, Viton®/FKM, Silicone, EPDM, Acrylic, etc.), designed to create a tight seal against a rotating shaft.

  • Garter Spring (Common): A helical spring positioned around the sealing lip to apply consistent radial force, ensuring continuous contact with the shaft for effective sealing, even as the lip wears.

  • Metal Case (Outer): Provides structural rigidity, secure fit into the housing bore, and protects the rubber elements. Can also be a full rubber or rubber-covered metal case.

  • Material Versatility: Available in a wide array of elastomer compounds to suit specific application requirements, including:

    • Nitrile (NBR/Buna-N): Excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, greases, and fuels. Most common oil seal material.

    • Viton® (FKM/FPM): Superior resistance to high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, and a broad range of oils and fuels.

    • Silicone (VMQ): Excellent high and low-temperature flexibility, good for dry heat applications, but generally not for high-pressure oil.

    • EPDM: Good resistance to water, steam, and some chemicals, but poor with oils.

    • Acrylic (ACM): Good for automatic transmission fluids and ozone/weathering.

  • Temperature & Pressure Tolerance: Designed to operate effectively across a range of temperatures and withstand moderate pressures, depending on the material and design.

  • Dust Lip (Optional, Double Lip): Many oil seals incorporate a secondary lip to prevent the ingress of external contaminants (dust, dirt, water) from the outside environment.

  • Hydrodynamic Aids (Optional): Some seals incorporate features on the sealing lip to pump leaked oil back into the housing, improving sealing efficiency.
