ERIKS type R (type A according to the DIN standard) is identical in shape to type M, but has a rubber outer case with metal reinforcement on the inside. The rubber creates a good seal in the housing, even if the housing has suffered minor damage or is not in its best condition for other reasons. The RST version has a dust lip. These types are often chosen to replace a type with a metal outer case because they are easier to install and can cope with minor damage to the groove, such as scratches.
Depending on the application, premium lip materials may need to be used, such as Ethylene-acrylic (Varmac®). This material features good abrasion and dry running capabilities, higher heat capabilities than nitrile and polyacrylate, and better low-temperature performance than polyacrylate.
Another important feature of rubber pipe gaskets is their resistance to a wide range of chemicals and fluids commonly found in plumbing systemsThis tough, chemically inert polymer has a wide working scope as well as:
Moreover, these seals also prevent contamination ingress, safeguarding the system from dust, debris, and other external elements that could degrade the quality of the oil or cause malfunction. Their effectiveness in sealing and preventing leaks not only ensures optimal machine performance but also contributes to energy conservation by minimizing oil loss. 4Fluids

Oil leak: the most frequent failure of the oil seal
Fluid Types - Various oil seals are able to withstand interactions with oils, fuels, grease, water and more. Knowing what type of fluid the rotary shaft seal will be in constant contact with will ensure the longevity of the seal and surrounding components.
Installing an oil seal correctly is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your equipment. This guide provides detailed instructions on preparing for installation, executing various installation techniques, and avoiding common errors. Our step-by-step approach will help you achieve a reliable seal every time, preventing leaks and mechanical failures.
