Oil Seal Supplier in Doha: How to Identify the Right Shaft Seal
By Amtech Met · 2026-11-07
Looking for an oil seal supplier in Doha? The quickest way to request a replacement is to send the old seal marking, its dimensions and the equipment details together. A seal that fits the housing is not necessarily suitable for the lubricant, temperature or shaft duty.
Amtech Met supplies seals and O-rings in Qatar. This guide focuses on radial shaft oil seals used to help retain lubricant and exclude contamination, rather than pump mechanical seals.
What to send when asking for an oil seal
- The marking: photograph both sides of the old seal, including any brand, part number and design code.
- Three dimensions: shaft diameter, housing bore diameter and seal width, in millimetres. Record them in that order rather than sending one measurement.
- Equipment details: the machine or gearbox make, model and original part reference, if available.
- Operating conditions: the lubricant or fluid, operating temperature, shaft speed and whether pressure is present.
- Seal construction: note the lip arrangement, spring and any dust lip. Send a clear photograph if you are unsure.
Why the seal code is only the starting point
SKF's radial shaft seal designation guidance identifies shaft diameter, housing bore diameter and nominal width, followed by design and material codes. Other manufacturers may use different codes. Do not assume that a similar-looking code proves two seals are interchangeable.
Material selection also depends on the fluid and operating conditions. A replacement chosen only because its outer diameter matches can still leak or wear quickly. Ask us to check the application and original reference before confirming a substitute.
Check the cause of the leak, not just the seal
A worn shaft surface, contamination, misalignment or an unsuitable installation can affect sealing performance. If the same seal repeatedly fails, provide photographs of the shaft and housing and describe when the leak appears. The replacement decision should account for the equipment condition, not just the old part.

Frequently asked questions
Can I order using only the old seal?
Bring it to the counter or send clear photographs. The marking helps, but please also include the machine details and measurements, especially if the seal is damaged or the code is unreadable.
Is an oil seal the same as a mechanical seal?
No. They have different constructions and applications. Send the equipment details so we can direct your enquiry to the correct seal type.
