The Bore.

Good design doesn’t stop with the shaft seal and the shaft. Due consideration must also be given to the housing bore. There are four important bore-related factors that can impact a shaft seal’s ability to establish and maintain a static O.D. seal with the bore. These factors are bore material, surface finish, chamfer, and diameter tolerances.
