Necerta ĉu vi bezonas oleo sigelo aŭ a polvo sigelo? I’ve been there. I’ll walk you through their differences, so you don’t end up choosing the wrong seal for your application.

Oil seals and dust seals serve different purposes: one keeps lubrication in, the other keeps poluaĵoj eksteren. Here’s how to decide.

Keep reading to discover which sealing solution works best for motors, gearboxes, and off-road machinery.

What is the main difference between an oil seal and a dust seal?

Many people confuse dust seals and oil seals—but their jobs are quite different.
Oil seals are for lubricant retention, dum polvo sigeloj are for blocking external contaminants.

Oil seals (also called rotary shaft seals) are used in lubricated rotating machinery to prevent oil leaks, such as in gearboxes or hydraulic pumps. Dust seals (wiper seals) are designed for harsh outdoor environments, blocking dirt, mud, and water that could damage the shaft.

Which seal material is best for your application?

Not all rubber is created equal—choosing the right material is essential.
Uzu NBR for basic oil or dust resistance, FKM for heat/chemicals, and PTFE when speed is key.

Let’s break it down:

• NBR (nitrilo): Great for standard oil/dust resistance
• FKM (Viton®): Ideal for high temp & chemical exposure
• PTFE: Excellent in high-speed, low-friction setups

For pneumatic environments, polva viŝilo sigeloj are your go-to.

Where are oil seals and dust seals used?

Your choice depends on the operating conditions.
Oil seals are a must for internal lubrication systems; dust seals shine in dirty, outdoor conditions.

Oil Seals Are Common In:

• Gearboxes & motors
• Hidraŭlikaj sistemoj
• Rotary shaft equipment

Polvaj Sigeloj Estas Uzitaj En:

• Excavators, bulldozers, tractors
• Off-road vehicles
• Cylinders in dusty environments

How to maintain seal performance over time?

Even the best seals fail without proper care.
💡 Here’s what I recommend:

• Replace seals every 12–24 months
• Inspect shaft surfaces for damage
• Use the correct storage method
• Choose seals rated for your system’s real temperature/pressure

Konkludo

Oil seals retain lubrication; dust seals keep out debris. Choose based on environment, speed, and pressure.
