The simplest way is to know either the preferred manufacturers part number, the overall sizes of shaft diameter, housing diameter and bore depth, or use our brochure to establish the M Barnwell Services ordering reference. Many of the old traditional names of seal manufacturers have either changed or disappeared in this age of “acquisitions”. If no longer available, we will advise you and offer a suitable alternative seal, from stock whenever possible. If your concern is getting the right seals for the job, you will need to know something about the application as well as the overall sizes. If you have any doubts – contact us, we will help in your seal selection.
Description:
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.

Oil seals are made from multiple compounds and materials. Some of the oldest, still in use today, are leather and felt compounds. The trend in mass production, however, has seen a move towards synthetic rubber or elastomers. Nitrile is by far the most popular material but developments in PTFE have created a surge of interest in buyers needing seals for high-speed shaft rotation applications. Viton is taking over from the polyacrylic and silicone, as it works better in high-temperature applications and has a high-resistance to abrasion and harmful chemicals.
Replacing the valve cover gasket on a 2.0% TSI engine is a relatively straightforward task, but it is essential to use the correct gasket and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Using the wrong gasket or improper installation can lead to leaks and engine damage. It is always best to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the vehicle's service manual for guidance. In conclusion, the seemingly disparate worlds of f6rtc and Spark Plug converge on a single truth the power of innovation to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. As we move forward, let us take cues from this synergy and embrace the fusion of tradition and innovation. By doing so, we can ignite a brighter future where age-old wisdom and audacious new ideas coalesce to drive progress for generations to come.
