Keeping fluid where it belongs and contamination out, this seal rides against a shaft or seats in a bore to close the gap between a moving and a stationary part, holding back oil or grease while blocking dirt and moisture from the surfaces behind it. Seals harden, wear a groove, or split as they age, showing up as a leak or as contamination working into a component.
A seal keeps fluid where it belongs and contamination out, riding against a shaft or seating in a bore to close the gap between a moving and a stationary part. This seal performs that job in the assembly it was cataloged for, holding back oil or grease while blocking dirt and moisture from reaching the surfaces behind it.
Seals harden, wear a groove, or split as they age, and a failed seal shows up as a leak or as contamination working into a component that should stay clean. When replacing it, match the seal's inside and outside diameter and its cross-section to the bore it seats in, since a seal off in any of those dimensions will not seat or seal properly.
