- The use of SC oil seals also plays a vital role in environmental conservation efforts. By preventing oil leaks, these seals help in reducing waste and potential pollution. When lubricants do not escape from their intended environments, there is less likelihood of them entering ecosystems, where they can cause harm to wildlife and disrupt ecological balances.
- The aerospace sector also heavily relies on rubber edge gaskets for sealing aircraft components, such as fuel tanks, air conditioning systems, and hydraulic lines
The valve cover gasket plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the engine by preventing oil leaks and maintaining proper lubrication. It ensures that the engine remains free from oil leaks, contributing to its overall efficiency and reliability. A high-quality valve cover gasket is essential for preserving the proper functioning of the engine and protecting it from potential damage due to oil leakage.
- Overall, the SSR 125 spark plug is a reliable and high-quality component that is ideal for use in a wide range of vehicles and equipment. Whether you are driving a motorcycle, ATV, or other small engine vehicle, the SSR 125 spark plug can help ensure that your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
Above, are all the components of an oil seal and all its naming conventions. Beyond selecting the correct size, the three primary selection criteria are Material, Lip, and Case. If you have an oil seal you’d like custom designed and made, send us your specifications through our Oil Seal Design Form.
Regular inspection and maintenance of valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, and spark plugs are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Proper replacement of worn or damaged components is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the engine. Adhering to recommended service intervals and using high-quality replacement components are essential for optimizing the performance and longevity of the engine's critical components.
It is possible to get custom-made seals manufactured at reasonable rates from good-quality manufacturers if the readymade seal specification doesn’t meet the requirement.

The group of oil seals used in dynamic applications include radial shaft seals that seal a rotating shaft around its circumference. They are also known as lip seals, but in this blog we will use the term oil seals.

ERIKS type M (type B according to the DIN standard) has a single metal casing and rubber sealing lip. Since the casing is made of metal, it must be fitted in a well-finished, undamaged groove. Large volumes of oil seals with metal casings are often cheaper, which is why they are often used as original equipment in machines. However, if an oil seal has to be replaced, types with a rubber exterior (type R or RST) are easier to fit. Type MST is similar to M and commonly used. The difference is the dust lip in the MST oil seal that prevents dust and dirt reaching the sealing lip, and extends its service life in dusty environments.
Make sure the fuel-pipe connections are clean. Unplug them and reconnect to the pump.
Heat resistance
The square shape of the gasket allows for a more precise fit in square or rectangular openings, ensuring a tight seal to prevent fluids or gases from escaping. Made from high-quality rubber materials such as neoprene, silicone, or EPDM, these gaskets offer excellent resistance to temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure.
