Description: What type of seal is a lip seal?
Lip seal is a dynamic seal since there is a relative motion between the mating surfaces. Generally, lip type seals are used to seal the radial gap between rotating shaft and stationary housing to prevent the leak of lubricants like oil or grease as well as it prevents the ingression of dirt or foreign particles into the oil chamber.
