Maintenance and Replacement:
The spark plug is essentially a device that generates an electric spark to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder. This ignition process creates a small explosion, which pushes the piston down and ultimately drives the vehicle forward. Without spark plugs, the engine would not be able to start or run efficiently.
Proper maintenance and regular inspection are vital for prolonging the service life of oil seals and preventing unplanned downtime. Here are some tips:
- The dimensions of an oil seal, such as 85x110x12, refer to the inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness of the seal, respectively. In this case, the seal has an inner diameter of 85mm, an outer diameter of 110mm, and a thickness of 12mm. These dimensions are crucial for ensuring a proper fit and seal in the intended application.
Several variables must be considered when selecting oil seals. The physical dimensions and materials will vary depending on the environment of use. In addition, oil seals must remain lightweight, compact, and exhibit high self-lubrication performance.
What are Oil Seals and how should they be ordered?
Regular inspection and maintenance of spark plugs are essential to identify signs of wear, fouling, or deterioration. Proper replacement of worn or fouled spark plugs, including the transition to iridium spark plugs where applicable, is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the vehicle's ignition system. Adhering to recommended service intervals and using high-quality replacement components are essential for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle's engine.
Oil seals close spaces between moving or stationary mechanical components to prevent lubricants like grease and oil from escaping, while also preventing dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the seal. Also known as shaft seals, dirt seals, lip seals, or grease seals, the primary components of any oil seal include an inner metal ring, which provides structural support, and a spring, which provides interference for effective sealing.
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.
If you follow the above instructions, the oil seals should work properly. Also watch the video below for an example of the installation process.
