Oil Seal Selection Guide

Part Number Description

All of our oil seal part numbers are comprised of the shaft, bore and width dimensions,. These are then followed by the style or type of design. Finally there are designations for material and an other design preferences.

Shaft – the diameter of the shaft where the seal will operate
Bore – the diameter of the bore where the seal will operate
Width or Depth – Actual width of the seal, or if not specified, the depth of the bore
Style – Refer to catalog pages
Lip Material- Material of sealing element, 70/75 durometer

• OD paint colors are generally our standard blue, however a color can be specifically requested for new tools. We cannot change paint color for any stock parts. Stock parts which are not painted can have a color added after manufacture, by request. Ground OD parts will not come painted unless specially requested and approved. OD paint color designations:
  • P0 = red

  • P2 = blue (our standard)
  • P3 = light blue
  • P4 = gray
  • P5 = green
  • P6 = yellow
  • P7 = orange
  • P8 = brown
  • P9 = light green
• GR - grease filled lips
• RD - Curled edge
• LF - Low friction design

Appearance of AJR Oil Seals 

On the appearance, there are three important parts:

1. The front end of the lip is a critical area.
2. Dark area; a little flaw on the appearance will not affect the performance of the seal.
3. Other parts; unless the defect is severe it will not hurt the function of the seal.
