Heat and attrition are generated by the parts moving against each other. The sealing function can only be ensured if an intentional defined leakage of oil is able to exit for seal lubrication, preventing seal wear and possible failure, while a tight static seal between shaft and sealing lip must be assured when the shaft is stationary.

Oil lip seals play a significant role in several industrial applications to avoid intermixing fluids and prevent contaminants and moisture from affecting the bearings. With such a vital role to play, it is essential to choose the right material for these seals. The choice of the material will depend on factors like the type of fluid being sealed, operating temperature, pressure, and compatibility with the operating environment. The following list of materials is typical for making oil lip seals:
Regular inspection and replacement of oil seals are also important for preventing leaks and maintaining the efficiency of high-pressure systems. Over time, the seals can wear out or become damaged, leading to oil leaks and potential system failures. By monitoring the condition of the seals and replacing them as needed, operators can prevent costly downtime and repairs.

Some aspects to consider when selecting this component are:
The metal used in the outer case of oil seals is usually made of carbon steel. Upon request, and depending on quantities, a different type of steel (such as stainless steel) can be used.
