Ridgid 96880 Oil Seal

Product Description

The RIDGID 96880 is a replacement oil seal designed to prevent lubricant leakage and contamination ingress in RIDGID power tools and related equipment. Oil seals of this type sit between rotating shafts or spindles and stationary housings, maintaining a barrier that keeps gear oil or bearing grease contained while blocking dust, debris, and moisture from entering the drive assembly. This part is sourced directly from RIDGID as a genuine replacement component, ensuring dimensional and material compatibility with the original equipment it serves. Technicians and service professionals rely on correct oil seal replacement to restore proper lubrication integrity and extend service life after wear or damage is identified.

The 96880 is suited for service and repair applications on RIDGID power tools and accessories where the original oil seal has worn, cracked, or begun to leak. This type of component is typically serviced during scheduled maintenance intervals or when visible oil weeping, shaft play, or contamination is detected around the seal area. It is installed by tool repair technicians and trade professionals performing in-shop or on-site equipment maintenance on RIDGID-brand power tool assemblies.

Installation Notes

Oil seal replacement should be performed by a qualified tool repair technician. Disconnect and de-energize the tool completely before disassembly.

Use an appropriate seal driver or press to seat the seal squarely and flush with the housing bore without cocking or over-driving.
