The Oil Seal 38x55x8 NBR TC is a TC rotary shaft seal sized 38x55x8 mm (ID × OD × width). It keeps oil inside and dirt outside on a 38 mm shaft seated in a 55 mm bore — a size common in drive motors, planetary gearboxes, irrigation pumps and feed mixers.

Why the TC profile is so widely used
The TC layout brings three protections together: a rubber outer surface that grips the housing bore, a garter-spring lip that tracks slight shaft movement, and a secondary dust lip that blocks grit before it reaches the sealing edge.
Material: NBR – Nitrile
NBR nitrile rubber gives the lip its resistance to mineral oils, greases and hydraulic fluids — exactly the fluids a gearbox or pump seal meet. It is the industry’s general-purpose choice; just keep it clear of brake fluid and direct sun when storing.
Should the shaft read slightly below the listed size — typically a few tenths of a millimetre — no concern: the lip’s interference fit accounts for it.
