Figure 5 explains the JTEKT seal numbering system.
Seal numbers consist of
(1) the seal type code,
(2) the spring code,
(3) the lip type code,
(4) the dimensional numbers, and
(5) the special type code,
and Table 6 shows examples of each of these codes/numbers.

In conclusion, the oil seal 12 22 5 is a small but essential part that plays a significant role in the performance and longevity of industrial machinery and automotive systems. Its ability to prevent oil leakage, maintain lubrication, and protect the equipment from external factors makes it a crucial component that should not be overlooked.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.
Despite their widespread use, the importance of NBR oil seals is often underappreciated until a failure occurs. Such events highlight the critical role these seals play in loss prevention and operational efficiency. A single faulty seal can lead to costly downtime, environmental damage, and potentially dangerous situations if toxic substances are involved.We just discovered that one of the seals on our pumping system is leaking. Do you have any ideas as to what could have caused this, and can you offer some advice for selecting a good seal?
In conclusion, valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, and spark plugs are essential components in automotive engines, contributing to the efficiency, performance, and reliability of the engine. Understanding the significance of these components and their proper maintenance and replacement is crucial for optimizing the performance and longevity of the engine.
