What is a shaft seal and how does it work?
A shaft seal (or oil seal) keeps lubricants inside rotating systems while preventing external contaminants from entering. It plays a critical role in protecting bearings, minimizing friction, and ensuring operational safety in pumps, motors, and gearboxes.
