  • Oil or other seals can be used for grease and oil seals. A flexible lip, radial lip, or rotating shaft seal are different names for an oil seal. Single lip, double lip, triple lip, and four or more lips are frequent configurations. Double dust lip seal A seal with a garter spring design is the Double Dust Lip (DDL) seal. It has two dust lips, as the name would imply, plus a fluid lip with a garter spring to keep the lip firmly attached to the wear ring. Given the ongoing evolution of bearing seal designs, this seal would be considered a starting seal. For more than 50 years, this design has been the workhorse of the freight business; it still is in some regions. NBC Brenco Bearing Seal performs the fundamental task of keeping contaminants and grease out. Because of the garter spring, this seal would add the most torque and temperature to the bearing. Efficiency plus bearing seals Due to eliminating the fluid lip using poly inserts and rotors, the Efficiency Plus (EP) seal has a reduced torque value of fewer than 15 in-lbs. Although it features a triple dust lip rather than a double dust lip, the dust lip is still a molded component of the design. A labyrinth-like insert and rotor interlock each other to replace the fluid lip. NBC Brenco labyrinth provides excellent grease while lowering the torque required to rotate the seal. Other types of oil seal and grease seals include:

  • Nitrile Oil Seals - Nitrile oil seals, which is the commonly used term for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber seals, is a very good general-purpose option due to the flexibility of use across a variety of components. The resistance is strong against fats, hot water, gasoline, mineral oils, grease and animal oils, making them the most often-used oil seals. They do not have a wide temperature range, making them a poor choice for machinery that can see extreme changes in temperature.

  • The versatility of round gaskets is truly remarkable. They can be found in a wide range of industries, from automotive to aerospace, from plumbing to power generation. In the automotive industry, for example, round gaskets are used to seal engine blocks, transmission cases, and exhaust systems, ensuring that fluids and gases remain where they belong. In the aerospace industry, they are used to prevent leaks in fuel tanks and hydraulic systems, which is critical for safe flight.
  • One of the key advantages of cork rubber gaskets is their ability to conform to irregular surfaces. This makes them ideal for use in applications where a tight seal is required, but the surfaces being sealed are not perfectly flat or smooth. Cork rubber gaskets can also be customized to fit specific sizes and shapes, making them a highly versatile solution for a wide range of sealing needs.
