Oilseals or alternatively Rotary shaft seals, made from synthetic elastomers bonded to a usually metal case, are used in a wide range of applications under very varied conditions.

They provide an economical means of sealing against rotating shafts, preventing system lubricants from leaking and also external contamination from entering.

When designing the seal to run under specified conditions, there are many factors to take into account. Speed, Temperature and Medias are just some of the main considerations.
