Metric TC Oil Seal for Shafts & Axles — NBR Double Lip, ID 45–60mm

When a worn or missing shaft seal lets grease escape and contaminants in, the result is accelerated bearing wear, leaking gearboxes, and unplanned downtime. This metric TC oil seal is designed for mechanics, equipment owners, and DIY builders who need a reliable, correctly-sized replacement without guesswork.

Each seal is made from NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) bonded to a steel case, featuring a TC double-lip design with an integrated garter spring that maintains consistent radial lip pressure. Inner diameter (ID) ranges from 45 mm to 60 mm (approximately 1.77″ to 2.36″), outer diameter (OD) from 60 mm to 100 mm (approximately 2.36″ to 3.94″), and width from 7 mm to 12 mm (approximately 0.28″ to 0.47″). Select your exact size from the variant options above.

Typical applications include agricultural equipment axle seals, automotive gearbox and differential output shafts, industrial pump and motor shaft sealing, and light construction machinery wheel hubs — anywhere a metric TC oil seal is needed to retain lubricant and exclude dust or moisture.

⚙️ Compatibility note: Match your shaft's ID, housing bore (OD), and cavity depth (Width) before ordering. Refer to your equipment's service manual or measure the existing seal directly.

✅ Key Features of These Metric TC Oil Seals

  • 🔩TC Double-Lip Design — Two sealing lips work together: the primary lip retains lubricant while the secondary dust lip blocks contaminants from reaching the bearing.
  • 🌀Integrated Garter Spring — A stainless-steel garter spring maintains consistent radial load on the primary lip, compensating for minor shaft runout and wear over time.
  • 🧪NBR Rubber Compound — Nitrile butadiene rubber offers resistance to petroleum-based oils, greases, and fuels across a typical operating range of approximately −40 °C to +120 °C (−40 °F to +248 °F).
  • 🏗️Steel-Reinforced Case — A stamped steel outer case provides dimensional stability during press-fit installation and maintains the seal's round profile under housing bore pressure.
  • 📐Wide Size Range — ID 45–60 mm, OD 60–100 mm, Width 7–12 mm. Over 60 individual size combinations available as single units or in packs of 2, 4, or 10.
  • 🔧Standard Metric Dimensions — Conforms to common metric shaft seal sizing conventions, making cross-referencing with OEM part numbers and seal catalogues straightforward.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the correct seal size for my application?

Measure three dimensions on your existing seal or shaft housing: the inner diameter (ID) of the seal bore on the shaft, the outer diameter (OD) of the housing bore the seal presses into, and the width (depth) of the seal cavity. All three must match the variant you select. If the old seal is still in place, these measurements can also be taken directly from it with calipers.

What does "TC" mean in TC oil seal?

"TC" refers to a double-lip seal design with a garter spring. The first lip (primary) retains lubricant on the inboard side, while the second lip (dust lip) faces outward to exclude dirt, water, and debris. The garter spring keeps the primary lip in firm contact with the shaft even as the rubber wears slightly over time.

Is NBR rubber suitable for my gearbox or differential?

NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) is compatible with most petroleum-based gear oils, ATF, and greases used in automotive and agricultural gearboxes and differentials. It is not recommended for use with phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids or certain synthetic esters. If your application uses a non-petroleum fluid, contact us to confirm compatibility before ordering.

What temperature range can these seals handle?

NBR compound seals typically operate reliably from approximately −40 °C to +120 °C (−40 °F to +248 °F). Continuous operation near the upper limit may accelerate lip wear. For high-temperature applications above 120 °C, a Viton (FKM) seal would be more appropriate.

Can I use these seals on a rotating shaft or a static bore?

TC oil seals are designed for dynamic sealing on rotating shafts. The garter spring and lip geometry are optimised for shaft rotation. They are not intended for purely static face-seal applications. The shaft surface in contact with the seal lip should ideally have a surface finish of Ra 0.2–0.8 µm and be free of burrs or spiral machining marks.

Should I buy a single seal or a multi-pack?

If you are replacing a single failed seal, a pack of 1 is sufficient. If you are servicing both sides of an axle or gearbox at the same time, a pack of 2 covers both positions. Packs of 4 or 10 are cost-effective for workshop stock, fleet maintenance, or if you are rebuilding multiple units of the same equipment. Per-unit cost decreases with larger pack sizes.

How do I install a press-fit oil seal without damaging it?

Apply a thin film of clean oil or grease to the outer case and the sealing lip before installation. Use a seal driver or a flat piece of hardwood cut to the OD of the seal to press it in squarely. Never strike the seal directly with a hammer. Press until the outer face is flush with or just below the housing bore face. Avoid cocking the seal during installation, as this can permanently distort the lip.
