In fact, there is not much difference between the sealing ring and the open oil seal, both of which are used to seal the medium inside and seal the dust outside. If you really want to say the difference between them, it may be the difference in sealing professional field, form, and installation.

A sealing ring is a general term for all sealing elements. Including mechanical seals, open oil seals, O-rings, etc. The open oil seal is a kind of sealing ring used in the rotating motion of the shaft, which is basically the same as the mechanical equipment used by ordinary oil seals. It is often used to replace ordinary oil seals when overhauling mechanical equipment.

The difference in form is that the ordinary sealing ring is a complete shape without any opening in the middle; while the open oil seal has an opening part in the middle, which is set for the convenience of installation.

The difference in the installation method is that the equipment needs to be disassembled when the ordinary seal is installed; while the Bailuhan open oil seal does not need to completely disassemble the equipment, just break the opening of the oil seal to a certain angle, put it directly on the bearing, and use special tools. Assist to complete the installation.

Whether it is a sealing ring or an open oil seal, there are many materials, and different materials can cope with different media and working conditions, but the professional field of sealing is indeed different.
