Watch a short video of how to select oil seals.
Question: What should my seal size be if my shaft diameter is x?
Answer: The same size as the shaft diameter. This is because the manufacturers of the seals make allowance so that the seals will be a snug fit on a shaft.
E.g. If you have a 25mm shaft then the seal's bore you require will be 25mm as would be marked on the seal
In reality
if you actually measured the bore of a new seal it will be nearer 24.2mm, this is the allowance that the manufacturers build into the seal.
The same applies to the outside diameter, it should be the same diameter as the housing into which it will fit, again the manufacturer has taken into consideration any allowances to make the seal a good fit in its housing.
Seal Width: is not always fixed to replacing like for like as there are some advantages to fitting narrower or wider seals where space permits it, these instances may be where a groove has become worn in the shaft and a wider or narrower seal will allow the sealing lip to run on a fresh piece of shaft.
Or where the actual width is just not manufactured any longer or discontinued.
The R21 style is a seal with a single sealing lip and is suited to applications like cranks and gearbox seals.
The R23 style is a seal with one sealing lip and a dust lip and is suited to applications like wheel bearings and anywhere there is likely to be dust and moisture, the dust lip does not act as a seal but as protection to the sealing lip.

SKF Energy Efficient Metal Shielded Deep Groove Ball Bearings: SKF E2 bearings use 30 - 50 percent less energy compared to standard SKF bearings, In many cases they run cooler at equivalent loads and speeds reducing lubricant use and extending equipment life.
One of the most commonly used bearings, these types are manufactured with metal shields inserted into the outer raceway, these fit in closely to the inner race providing protection against light mechanical damage, some protection against the ingress of moisture, dust and other foreign matter and serve to retain the pre-filled grease in the bearing.
Benefits: 30 - 50 percent less energy, provides light mechanical protection, limits moisture and dirt ingress, lubricated for life
Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings: Designed to resist corrosion, they are ideally suited for application in the food industry and anywhere that requires a bearing which is both hygienic and has a high resilience to water. These single row deep groove ball bearings have the same deep raceway grooves and close conformity between raceways and balls as standard deep groove ball bearings. They can carry axial loads acting in both directions in addition to radial loads, even at high speeds. Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings have the same running properties as conventional steel deep groove ball bearings, but have a lower load carrying capacity. The bearings are available in open and sealed designs for shaft diameters from 1 to 50 mm.
Benefits: Food safe, water and corrosion resilient, available up to 50mm bore.
Oil Seals: Designed to aid trouble-free operation of your equipment, providing an excellent barrier against the escape of oils and greases and preventing the ingress of foreign matter.
Benefits: Excellent wear resistance, good running properties, high resistance to chemicals and petroleum based fuels including petrol, diesel and LPG.
Question: What should my seal size be if my shaft diameter is 25mm / Or your shaft diameter?
Answer: The same size as the shaft diameter.
This is because the manufacturers of the seals make allowance so that the seals will be a snug fit on a shaft.
E.g. If you have a 25mm shaft then the seal's bore you require will be 25mm as would be marked on the seal.
In reality if you actually measured the bore of a new seal it will be nearer 24.2mm, this is the allowance that the manufacturers build into the seal.
Viton Rubber Oils Seals: Characterized by their reddish brown colour and stainless steel garter springs (dependent on manufacturer they are sometimes a dull gray colour). They are well known for their excellent chemical and heat resistance up to 200 Deg celsius and to 260 Deg celsius for shorter periods down to -30 Deg celsius without affecting their elastic properties as a rubber. Resistance to common salt makes them an ideal marine solution and the great range of substances to which they are resistant like Aliphatic hydrocarbons, vegetable oils and fats as well as petroleum oils and greases, Chlorinated solvents, Acids and chemical agents, Ozone, Petroleum, Diesel etc make them a very versatile seal choice.
Benefits: High temperature range -30 Deg to +200 Deg, Chemical resistance, Stainless Steel Springs, Higher wear resistance, Lower drag coefficient

J Section Poly V Belts: The Poly-V belt is a single, endless belt with longitudinal V-shaped ribs that mate perfectly with the V-grooves in the pulleys (sheaves). It combines the convenience of a thin, one-piece flat belt with the strong gripping traction of multiple V-belts to make the Poly-V belt far better than either for many applications.
To distribute the drive load evenly across the full width of the sheave, the Poly-V belt is built as a single unit with a completely supported, uninterrupted tension member. There is no matching problem. No separate belts to turn over, grab, slip, or interfere with each other.
The thin cross section profile allows use of smaller pulleys than standard V-belts, and Poly-V belts handle speed ratios of 40:1. With all this capacity, the Poly-V belt tracks properly without special guides, flanges, crowns, or deep grooves. And it resists seating in the grooves, so speed ratios remain more consistent and output speed remains more uniform.
Benefits: Oil, heat, ozone, and abrasion resistant, static conductive

| An oil seal normally consists of three basic components: The Sealing Element (the nitrile rubber part), the Metal Case, and the Spring. It is a widely used sealing component. The function of a seal is to prevent the leakage of medium along the moving parts. This is mainly achieved by the sealing element. Nitrile Rubber (NBR) | |
| NBR is the most commonly used seal material. It has good heat resistance properties, good resistance to oils, salt solutions, hydraulic oils, and petrol, diesel and other gasoline products. Operation temperatures are recommended from -40deg Cto 120deg C. It also functions well under dry environment, but only for intermittent periods. | |

Henry Timken made carriages in the USA. In 1898 he noticed that loaded freight wagons had difficulty making sharp turns, so he designed a taper roller bearing that could handle both radial (weight) and thrust (cornering force) loads.
The newly designed bearings made wagon performance much better and fewer horses were required to pull them. Also, better cornering meant the chances of losing a loads were dramatically reduced. Realising the potential of his new innovation he and his sons, H.H. and William Timken, started The Timken Roller Bearing and Axle Company and began to build the business into what we see today.

| An oil seal normally consists of three basic components: The Sealing Element (the nitrile rubber part), the Metal Case, and the Spring. It is a widely used sealing component. The function of a seal is to prevent the leakage of medium along the moving parts. This is mainly achieved by the sealing element. Nitrile Rubber (NBR) | |
| NBR is the most commonly used seal material. It has good heat resistance properties, good resistance to oils, salt solutions, hydraulic oils, and petrol, diesel and other gasoline products. Operation temperatures are recommended from -40deg C to 120deg C. It also functions well under dry environment, but only for intermittent periods. | |
