Struggling with oil leaks, dust intrusion, or short-lived seals? It might be time to switch to a skeleton oil seal—a trusted solution in high-speed and high-pressure systems.
Skeleton oil seals provide enhanced shaft sealing with internal metal reinforcement, extending service life and performance.
Read on to learn what they are, how they work, and how to choose the right type for your machinery.
What makes a skeleton oil seal different from a standard seal?
Unlike regular rubber seals, a skeleton oil seal includes a metal insert that reinforces the sealing structure.
This “skeleton” helps maintain lip pressure and positioning even under misalignment, pressure, and rotation.
Also known as radial shaft seals, they combine flexibility from rubber (NBR or FKM) with the strength of steel—ideal for motors, pumps, and gearboxes.
Looking for high-strength applications? Explore our TG4 Skeleta Oleo Sigelo with dust lip protection.
What types of skeleton oil seals are available?
There’s no one-size-fits-all in dynamic sealing. Each application requires a tailored design.
| Tajpu | Strukturo | Polva Lipo | Ofta Uzo |
|---|---|---|---|
| TG4 | Duobla lipo kun polva lipo | ✅ | Motoroj, pumpiloj, rapidumujoj |
| TC | Duobla lipo kun metala ŝelo | ❌ | Norma industria uzo |
| K-Tipo | Kompakta profilo | ❌ | Mallarĝa loĝejo, spac-limigitaj areoj |
| Split Tipo | Open-style, easy install | ✅ | Field repairs and maintenance |
Nia TC Skeleton Oil Seal is ideal for standard rotation sealing without dust interference.
Which materials are used in skeleton oil seals?
Rubber alone isn’t enough. Material choice defines durability and performance.
| Materialo | Plena Nomo | Propraĵoj | Uzokazo |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBR | Nitrila Kaŭĉuko | Ole-rezistema, pagebla, -40 °C ĝis +120 °C | Motors, compressors, low-temp |
| FKM | Fluoroelastomero | Varmo kaj kemi-rezistema, -30 °C ĝis +200 °C | Gearboxes, engines, high-temp |
Nia FKM Sigeloj are ideal for chemical and thermal extremes. NBR fits general industry needs.
Where are skeleton oil seals commonly used?
Skeleton oil seals are standard in:
- Elektraj motoroj
- Hidraŭlikaj pumpiloj
- Automotive crankshafts
- Gearboxes
- Industrial fans and blowers

How do I choose the right type?
Use this checklist to avoid mismatches:
| Faktoro | Kion Kontroli |
|---|---|
| Ŝafto Diametro | Must match seal’s inner diameter |
| Housing Bore | Fit outer diameter tightly |
| Speed Rating | NBR ≤15 m/s, FKM supports higher speeds |
| Temperaturo | Use FKM above 120°C |
| Media Resistance | FKM needed for fuel/solvent exposure |
| Dusty Conditions | Use types with dust lips (TG4, Split) |
For tough environments, we recommend the TG4 double-lip design with NBR or FKM rubber.
Konkludo
Skeleton oil seals combine durability, stability, and high sealing integrity. The right type ensures reliability across electric, hydraulic, and rotating systems.
