Oil seals are used for essential applications in the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. They are created to avoid leaks from the sealing lip and rotary shaft by forming a thin layer of oil between them. Oil seals could be developed using well-known sealing materials, involving NBR, EPDM, PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE), Silicone,and fluoroelastomer.
In the automotive industry, square rubber gaskets are crucial in engine compartments, sealing oil pans, valve covers, and other components. They prevent oil leaks and maintain the optimal functioning of the engine. Similarly, in plumbing, they ensure leak-proof connections between pipes, taps, and fittings, safeguarding against water damage and potential disasters.
When it comes to installation, U-shaped rubber gaskets are relatively easy to work with. They can be easily cut to size, bent, and shaped to fit the specific requirements of the application. This makes them a cost-effective sealing solution, as they can be easily customized to meet the needs of different projects without the need for specialized tools or equipment.
As an example, this oil seal has a part number that corresponds to a Shaft Size of 3”, a Bore Size of 4”, a Width Size of 0.625”, a Style of TB2, and is made of Viton material. Conversely, the same size oil seal in Metric has a Shaft Size of 76.20 mm, a Bore Size of 101.60 mm, and a Width Size of 15.88 mm.
Pressure - Many oil seals can only withstand low-pressure applications, so understanding the compression set of your components is key.
Plug tube gasket
Each spark plug wire is specifically designed to withstand extreme temperatures and high voltage conditions. Made from a combination of materials, including rubber, silicone, or Kevlar, these wires ensure a reliable and efficient spark transmission. The insulation material protects the wire from electrical interference, ensuring that the spark reaches its designated spark plug without any loss or misfire.
Rubber type
In engines, for instance, high pressure oil seals are crucial for maintaining proper lubrication and preventing oil leaks. They protect the crankshaft and other rotating components from contact with engine oil, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. In hydraulic systems, they prevent fluid loss, minimizing energy consumption and environmental pollution. In terms of performance, the A7TJC spark plug excels in providing a cleaner burn, translating into better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions
