sealing classification with lubrication barrier


Explanation:
Since these are shafts and not material of some sort, I would tend to call it "sealing" class(ifikation) as opposed to "density".
Shafts are usually lubricated with oil. So one could say either with "oil" or "lubrication" barrier, depending on how specific the lubrication must be described.
