Rubber gaskets are essential components in many industrial applications, providing a reliable seal between two mating surfaces to prevent leaks or contamination. One common type of rubber gasket is the 40mm rubber gasket, which is used in a variety of industries for different applications.
When selecting the oil seal that is right for your machine, it is important that the oil seal be appropriate for the requirements of the usage environment and that it be easily acquired for replacement.
In this month's column, How to select the right oil seal, we conveyed the following points:
1) Oil seal shape and material should be selected based on the housing, substance to be sealed, pressure, rotational speed, total eccentricity, and air-side conditions.
2) Oil seals can show good sealing performance in combination with properly designed shafts and housings.
3) 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. For this reason, diligent care is required in oil seal selection.
Nitrile is the most widely used rubber (elastomer) and it’s recommended as the best for almost all standard applications. This is solely due to the fact that nitrile has some intrinsic properties, such as low cost and compatibility with most environments. Some of the general applications of nitrile are non-latex gloves, automotive transmission belts, footwear, gaskets, synthetic leather, hoses, o-rings, and oil seals.
O.D. (outside diameter) surface The O.D. surface affixes the oil seal to the housing and prevents leakage , through the fitting area, of substances to be sealed, while excluding contaminants.
