The oil seal is the sealing ring fitted between the slicer's rotating and fixed parts (hub, motor shaft): it stops oil leaking out or water getting in during cleaning, protecting the bearings and transmission from premature wear.

How to choose the right replacement: three measurements matter — inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness (e.g. 40-50-7mm). Material is NBR, resistant to oils and washing water. The range also includes specific versions such as the water-seal ring gasket for the RGV 350 hub and the water seal for the Leonardo 350-385 model.

Sign of wear: oil seeping from the hub or water getting in during washing is the sign that the oil seal needs replacing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure the oil seal to replace?
Inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness of the original part: these are the three measurements needed to find the right replacement.

Why is my slicer leaking oil from the hub?
The most common cause is a worn or hardened oil seal, which no longer holds the seal between the moving parts.
