In this kind of seal, wider tolerances are possible between the OD of the seal and the seal housing. Irregularities of the housing surface can be taken up by the resilient rubber layer on the outside of the seal. However, the rubber covered seal can be blown out under high pressure in a reciprocating application whereas, with a metal case, there is no such danger.
The speed at which an oil seal can operate effectively depends on the previously outlined conditions together with the design of the seal itself. Some designs allow for a range of maximum peripheral speeds and are therefore more suitable for larger shaft diameters. Speeds below and above the recommended range can cause friction and thus impact the sealing material.
The automotive industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, with a growing focus on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. One of the key components that play a crucial role in achieving these goals is the spark plug set. Spark plugs are essential for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber, which generates the power needed to propel the vehicle. With the advancements in technology, spark plug sets have evolved significantly, offering improved performance, longer life, and lower fuel consumption.If you have any technical questions regarding oil seals, or opinions/thoughts on these Bearing Trivia pages, please feel free to contact us using the following form:
