Oil seals are widely used as sealing devices for machines.
JTEKT's oil seals are described in our catalog, Oil Seals & O-Rings.
However, the catalog uses a large number of technical terms and is very long, so many people seem to have trouble handling it.
Therefore, this series of columns will summarize the following in order:
• The structure, functions, and types of oil seals
• How to select the right oil seal
• Handling of seals, and causes and countermeasures for oil seal failure
Power steering oil seals are integral to the functionality of the vehicle's power steering system. These seals are responsible for containing the hydraulic fluid within the power steering mechanism, preventing leaks and maintaining the smooth operation of the steering components. Power steering oil seals contribute to the proper functioning and longevity of the steering system, ensuring precise and responsive vehicle control.

In addition to the cost of the spark plugs, it's also important to consider the lifespan of the spark plugs you choose. Some spark plugs may need to be replaced more frequently than others, which can impact the overall cost of maintenance for your vehicle. Investing in long-lasting spark plugs may save you money in the long term by reducing the frequency of replacements.A rubber or PTFE sealing lip
In the engine, oil seals are crucial for preventing oil from leaking out of the crankshaft, camshaft, or other moving parts. Without these seals, oil leakage can lead to damage to the engine, decreased performance, and increased maintenance costs. Similarly, in the transmission, oil seals prevent the leakage of transmission fluid, which is essential for the proper functioning of gears and other components.Regular inspection and maintenance of car engine head gaskets and automotive rubber gaskets are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Proper replacement of worn or damaged gaskets is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of the vehicle's systems. Adhering to recommended service intervals and using high-quality replacement components are essential for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle's gaskets.
Leather Oil Seals - Leather Seals, also known as Type L Oil Seals, are most common in components that are subject to dirt and poor lubrication. Since they come pre-lubricated and are able to absorb fluids, leather oil seals are able to provide sealing properties in conditions that synthetic rubber is unable to.
