They can also prevent unwanted mixing of fluids, including water and oil combining within a machine.

  • Oil seals are made from multiple compounds and materials. Some of the oldest, still in use today, are leather and felt compounds. The trend in mass production, however, has seen a move towards synthetic rubber or elastomers. Nitrile is by far the most popular material but developments in PTFE have created a surge of interest in buyers needing seals for high-speed shaft rotation applications. Viton is taking over from the polyacrylic and silicone, as it works better in high-temperature applications and has a high-resistance to abrasion and harmful chemicals.

  • The distributor oil seal is typically made of rubber or silicone material that is designed to withstand high temperatures and resist oil leakage. Over time, the seal can wear out or become damaged due to the constant exposure to heat and oil. When this happens, it is important to replace the seal promptly to prevent any oil leaks that can lead to engine damage.
