Abstract: The lip-type seal of the present invention is a lip-type seal with which the outer periphery of a rotational shaft (S) supported by a predetermined housing (H) is sealed. This lip-type seal includes a seal ring (20) made of an elastic material so as to have an annular fitted part (21) that is fitted to the housing and a lip part (23) that extends from the fitted part inwardly in a radial direction in the shape of a substantially conical ring and that is brought into contact with the shaft, and a support ring (30) including an annular joint part joined to the fitted part and an annular supporting part (33) that defines a hole (30a) through which the shaft passes, that extends from a side of the joint part to a halfway area of the lip part, and that supports the lip part from the inside in the radial direction. In this lip-type seal, the lip part (23) is tapered in cross section from an area from which noncontact with the supporting part (33) starts toward an end thereof.
