What are Oil Seals and the different types?
Oil seals keep contaminants separate from the lubricants that keep rotating shafts and precision bearings in good working order. Oil seals are also known as rotary shaft seals, lip seals, and shaft seals.

a) The shaft on which the oil seal is to be mounted should be ground with the surface finish or surface roughness between 0.2 to 0.8 Microns. It is best for the shaft to be hardened atleast to 40 – 45 HRc in order to prevent groove formation on the shaft due to the pressure exerted by the spring.

Early engines used O-rings (also called packing rings or toric joints) as seals (first patented in 1896). These are just mechanical gaskets in the shape of a torus (a circular ring--like a lifesaver), seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts. It creates a seal at the interface. However, O-rings require a fluid film to lubricate them. They have limited usefulness in vacuum application and at extremes of temperature. The modern oil seal represents a significant improvement over the simple O-ring because it effectively seals in lubrication and prevents contamination from outside under a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
Elring supplies liquid sealants, head gaskets and also oil seals. The extensive range almost always offers a solution for an engine block and quality is can’t be missed in Elring's product range.
The cost of new spark plugs can range from as low as $2 to as high as $20 per plug. Cheaper spark plugs are often made of basic materials and may not last as long as more expensive options. On the other hand, high-quality spark plugs are made of premium materials such as platinum or iridium, which can resist wear and corrosion better than cheaper materials.
