Key Points to Consider When Purchasing Oil Seals?

Oil seals are essential components in industrial machinery, automotive systems, and household appliances. Their primary role is to prevent lubricant leakage and protect equipment from contamination. For distributors and wholesalers, selecting the right oil seal is critical to customer satisfaction and long-term reliability. So, what are the key points to consider when purchasing oil seals?

Material Selection
The choice of material determines durability and suitability:

Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Excellent oil resistance, suitable for most mechanical applications.

Fluororubber (FKM): High temperature and chemical resistance, ideal for demanding conditions.

Silicone Rubber (VMQ): Outstanding low-temperature performance, often used in appliances.

Size and Structure
Oil seals must match shaft diameter and housing dimensions precisely. Common structures include:

Single-lip seals: Suitable for general oil and dust protection.

Double-lip seals: Provide additional dust resistance and longer service life.

Wholesaler concern:

Q: Should we stock all sizes? A: It is advisable to cover common specifications, especially those used in automotive, appliance, and hydraulic equipment.

Operating Environment
The working conditions define the selection criteria:

Temperature Range: High temperatures require heat-resistant materials.

Medium Type: Oil, water, or chemicals demand different material properties.

Speed and Pressure: High-speed or high-pressure applications require reinforced designs.

Brand and Supplier Reliability
For distributors and wholesalers, supplier reliability is more important than price alone. Stable supply, technical support, and customization capabilities reduce after-sales risks and strengthen customer trust.
