Installing Oil Seals: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Only remove PTFE oil seals from their packaging just before installation to protect them from dust and other contamination.
- The process also includes checking for proper connection at both ends of the wire. Loose fittings can cause the same issues as a damaged wire. Moreover, it's essential to ensure that the wires are routing correctly and are not too close to each other or other components, which could lead to electrical interference or crossfire – where the voltage jumps from one wire to another instead of going to the intended spark plug.
In addition to its excellent temperature resistance, it is also resistant to ozone, light, and weather conditions. Silicone can be typically found in the food and medical industry as well as in hydraulics and pneumatics. It is often the preferred material for o-rings, moulded parts and flat seals but is also commonly used for electric insulators due to the material’s translucency and flexibility.

- Without a properly functioning spark plug coil, the engine may misfire, run rough, or not start at all. This can lead to a decrease in fuel efficiency, performance, and even potential damage to the engine over time. It is important to regularly inspect and replace the spark plug coil as needed to ensure the engine runs at its best.

We have different types of oil seals that are designed specifically for various industries, like aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, electronics, chemical analysis, food & beverage, engineering, and so on. Some of our other custom products are bellows, insulators, labware, bushings, ball valve seats, tubes, rods, films, and sheets. Contact us today to make sure you choose the best component for your application.
- 3. Low compression set High temperature rubber gaskets have low compression set, which ensures that they maintain their shape and seal effectively over time.
- Spring Material: The choice of garter spring material is also crucial as it must resist environmental factors such as exposure to water, chemicals, etc.
Nitrile is suitable for environments that have a temperature range of -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It is compatible with a variety of fluids, such as hot & cold water, silicone oil, animal & vegetable fat, hydraulic fluid, and gas oil. Nitrile is also a perfect material to use for any application that needs shock absorbers as it’s resistant to grease and abrasion.

Leather oil seals are commonly used for parts that are exposed to dirt and poor lubrication. The major advantage of this material is that it can function in cases where synthetic rubber cannot function. They are used for shafts that have rough surfaces that are more than what rubber seals can handle. This is because they are pre-lubricated and have the capacity to absorb liquids.
EPDM oil seals are less common. They are used in solvent, hot water and steam applications, EPDM resists low temperatures down to -50 °C and UV radiation well. Some types of EPDM are also suitable for higher temperatures up to +150 °C. EPDM oil seals are usually available upon request.

thick rubber gasket. This makes them ideal for outdoor and harsh environment applications where other materials may deteriorate quickly. Additionally, rubber gaskets are non-conductive and can provide an effective barrier against electrical currents, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.

Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.
Oil seals are an essential component of many industrial machines and equipment. They play a crucial role in preventing oil leaks, protecting bearings and other crucial parts from contamination, and ensuring the overall smooth operation of the machinery. One popular and widely-used size of oil seal is the 75x100x10 model.
