HIGH-QUALITY INDUSTRIAL OIL SEALS

A wide range of industries rely on oil seals to ensure optimal operation of mechanical assemblies. Components in the industrial and automotive fields, such as pumps, fans, electric motors, and other rotating or moving parts, use oil seals to maintain lubrication and keep contaminants from entering the shaft. Seals are especially useful in applications exposed to extreme environmental temperatures and pressures. 

However, the new variant also comes with less good properties. Namely less flexibility and less resistance during assembly. Most damages therefore occur during the installation of PTFE oil seals.

Because synthetic motor oil can cost two to four times more than regular oil, talk to your technician about whether it’s the right oil for your car. If you live in a climate with super cold winters or very hot summers, or use your vehicle for towing or hauling, synthetic oil may be the best type of oil for your vehicle. Older engines could also benefit from synthetic oil, as it can help prevent harmful sludge build-up that some older engines seem to be prone to.

The piston oil seal is located between the piston and the cylinder wall. Its main function is to seal the combustion chamber and prevent oil from leaking into the combustion area. This is essential for maintaining proper lubrication of the piston and preventing damage due to overheating and friction.

For more detailed information, please see the following:

Oil seal performance is affected by not only the type and material of the selected oil seal, but also a variety of other factors, such as operating conditions, total eccentricity, rotational speed, the substance to be sealed, and lubrication conditions.

Oil leak: the most frequent failure of the oil seal

PTFE, which is used in the well-known brand Teflon®, is less commonly used, but it is the preferred material for specific rotating seals in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. This material is notable for having a very low frictional resistance and the best chemical resistance. It can also withstand a very wide range of temperatures in these types of seals; -80 ˚C to 200 ˚C. The shafts on which oil seals with PTFE lips are used require a harder and finer finish. Something like an axle sleeve can also be used to meet this requirement.

Having problems installing oil seals? The part has had many updates in recent years, which has totally changed the installation process. In this blog, our specialists will give you information and installation tips so that these oil seals no longer cause difficulties during your overhaul or repair job.
