Spark Plug Automotive: Enhancing Performance and Reliability
Oil seal is an essential component in various machinery and equipment, designed to prevent the leakage of oil and other fluids. One of the most commonly used oil seals is the 30-50-10 oil seal, which is known for its durability and efficiency in sealing oil leaks.

However, rubber-cased seals do have limitations. For example, during installation, shear stresses can build up between the seal and housing wall, causing the seal to release itself.
Oil seals, also referred to as shaft seals, are widely used to prevent the leakage of medium (such as oils and grease) along a rotating shaft. This leak prevention is primarily achieved by the sealing element which can be made from a wide range of materials that are chosen according to each application. They are commonly used in gearboxes, hydraulic cylinders, and related components.
In general, oil seals should be selected in the order of priority indicated in Table 1.
