An oil control device inhibits the flow of oil along a shaft () rotating about an axis. The oil control device comprises an annular body () for rotation with said shaft () and includes a first face () extending generally radially from said axis. A second radially outer circumferential surface () is provided, extending generally axially. An oil slinging groove () extends into said body () and has a mouth () defined between a first circumferentially extending rim () and a second circumferentially extending rim (). The second rim () is spaced both radially and axially from the first rim (). The groove () is defined at least in part by a wall () which meets the first rim () at an acute angle to a radial plane. The groove () is also defined at least in part by a wall () which meets the second rim () at an acute angle to the direction of the axis.
