🔍 Key Concepts

• Spring-reinforced lip seal purpose and how the spring helps hold pressure on the shaft • Which side of the bearing contains lubricating oil in the illustration • How fluid pressure acts on the flexible lip to improve or reduce sealing

💭 Think About

• Look at GS-0152 and decide which side of the seal is the oil side and which is the dry/atmosphere side—where is the bearing and lubricant located? • If pressure builds on the oil side, would you want that pressure to push the lip tighter against the shaft, or to try to peel it away? • Based on the lip’s angle in the drawing, which direction of pressure would make it press more firmly onto the shaft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which cavity in the illustration is the lubricant side (near the rolling element bearing) • Note the direction the lip is leaning/angled relative to the shaft in the drawing • Confirm whether proper installation means the lip works with pressure to increase sealing, not against it
