What Is an Oil Seal?

Additionally, lubricants can be used on both sides of the oil seal to reduce friction and enhance sealing performance. The sealing process is crucial for preventing contaminants from entering machinery or equipment while keeping essential fluids contained within.

Neoprene foam gaskets are an essential component in various industrial and commercial applications. These gaskets are made from a type of synthetic rubber known as neoprene, which is valued for its excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and extreme temperatures. Neoprene foam gaskets have unique properties that make them ideal for sealing and insulation purposes in a wide range of industries.

Because of the higher temperature resistance of FKM, this material is also chosen for applications where higher speeds play a role, which raise the temperature at the sealing lip considerably. Usually, using FKM will result in a longer life than using NBR. This compensates the higher price of FKM compared to NBR, as an FKM does not have to be replaced as frequently. The low temperature resistance of standard FKM is limited to -15 ˚C.

Rubber oil seals have to perform in extreme conditions. Therefore, we accommodate all relevant conditions (mechanical and thermo-chemical phase) to maintain the integrity of the rubber oil seal in these circumstances.

Fundamental things and its importance 

Use a piece of wood to scrape off all traces of the old gasket from the head and cover. If total removal proves difficult, use a broad screwdriver blade, but take care not to scratch the seating.
