Well-balanced in terms of resistance to abrasion and high and low temperatures
- Type A: An outer metal case with a reinforced plate for structural rigidity. It’s ideal for shafts when the diameters exceed 150mm, smaller shafts that need extra strength, or when used with special rubber compounds.
⑦ - Oil seals are a critical component in the operation of machinery, providing a vital barrier between the internal lubricated parts and the external environment. These seals prevent the leakage of oil, which is essential for the proper functioning of the machine's components. They also prevent contaminants from entering the system, maintaining the quality of the oil and ensuring its longevity.
What are oil seals?
- d. Fluorocarbon Rubber (FKM) – is widely known under the Chemours (formerly Dupont™) trade name of Viton® and offers the best resistance to chemicals and superior performance to high temperatures.
Finally, consider the size and shape of the gasket, as well as any specific design requirements that may impact the gasket's performance. Custom-made natural rubber gaskets can be designed to meet the unique needs of your application, ensuring a precise fit and optimal sealing performance.

Our suppliers try to provide the best quality oil seals and products are in some cases optimised to improve performance and fitment. Corteco is one of these brands, whose case studies we have listed for you.
When repairing, remove the old oil seal
Is the seal you need not available from one of our standard ranges? No problem. We design and supply seals in any material, size and quantity - from very small to very large volumes.
