Why does anyone need a hydraulic seal? There are two general reasons; to keep something in or to keep contamination out. On the “keeping something in” side of things, today we’ll talk about the very common hydraulic fluid, oil. Oil is a highly useful power transmission fluid in that it has very low compressibility giving it a volumetric consistency under pressure, and it is a lubricant to help components last longer. Though the term “hydraulics” can mean use of any fluid, hydraulic oil is far and away the most common fluid used in the hydraulics industry and seals designed to keep that particular fluid in is a core focus for many seal manufacturers.
