XTO OIL SEAL About
A2Z SEALS
XTO Oil Seal (TC / Skeleton Oil Seal) High Performance Rotary Shaft Seal
An XTO oil seal, commonly known as a TC or skeleton oil seal, is a precision-engineered rotary shaft sealing component designed to prevent leakage of lubricants such as oil and grease while effectively blocking dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the system.
These seals are widely used in automotive engines, motorcycle assemblies (crankshafts, wheel hubs), industrial gearboxes, and rotating machinery, where reliable sealing performance is essential for long-term durability and efficiency.
Key Features of XTO Oil Seals
Double-Lip Sealing Design
XTO oil seals feature a dual-lip structure:
- Primary sealing lip ensures effective oil and grease retention
- Secondary dust lip prevents external contaminants from entering
This design provides superior protection and extends equipment life.
Metal Reinforced Skeleton Structure
The seals are built with a strong internal metal case (TC/TG4 profile) that maintains shape stability and ensures proper fit inside the housing bore, even under high pressure and rotational stress.
Garter Spring Technology
A high-tension garter spring is integrated into the sealing lip to maintain consistent radial pressure against the rotating shaft, ensuring leak-free performance over time.
Material Options
NBR (Nitrile Rubber)
- Ideal for standard oil and grease applications
- Operating temperature range: -40C to 120C
- Excellent wear resistance and cost-effective performance
FKM (Viton / Fluororubber)
- Suitable for high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments
- Temperature resistance: up to 240C+
- High resistance to acids, fuels, and industrial chemicals
Standard Sizing Format
XTO oil seals are measured in a standard metric format:
Inner Diameter Outer Diameter Thickness (mm)
Example:
18 mm 30 mm 10 mm
Proper sizing is critical to ensure a perfect fit and optimal sealing performance.
How to Choose the Right Replacement Oil Seal
To select the correct XTO oil seal replacement, follow these steps:
- Measure the exact inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness of the existing seal
- Check the OEM part number for your machine or vehicle
- Identify operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, and lubricant type

FAQ's of XTO OIL SEAL:
Q: How does the XTO Oil Seal prevent leakage and protect machinery?
A: The XTO Oil Seal features a durable construction that creates a tight barrier, effectively preventing lubricant escape and blocking the ingress of dust, dirt, or contaminants. Its compression molded NBR/metal combination ensures lasting resilience.
Q: What is the recommended process for installing the XTO Oil Seal?
A: Installation is straightforward due to its press-fit, round-type design. Simply align the seal with the shaft or housing and press it gently into place, ensuring the coated/polished surface maintains optimal sealing integrity.
Q: When should I replace my XTO Oil Seal?
A: It is advisable to replace the seal after its working life, which exceeds 1,000 hours under normal conditions, or if you detect lubricant leaks, increased noise, or contaminant intrusion during operation.
Q: Where can the XTO Oil Seal be used most effectively?
A: The seal is best suited for use in automotive engines, transmissions, and industrial machinery, particularly in applications requiring resistance to mineral oils, grease, and mild acids or alkalis.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the XTO Oil Seal?
A: Key benefits include robust pressure and chemical resistance, easy installation, high flexibility, corrosion protection, silent operation, and compliance with international quality standards.
Q: How does the XTO Oil Seal perform in high and low temperatures?
A: With a temperature tolerance from -30C to +120C, the seal maintains performance and elasticity, effectively protecting equipment in diverse climates and operating conditions.
