- The Indispensable Role of Rubber Edge Gaskets in Modern Industry
Old School O-Rings
- Oil seals, on the other hand, are a specific type of spare part that serves a crucial function. They are designed to prevent oil leaks and ingress of contaminants into the machinery, thereby maintaining lubrication and preventing damage to sensitive components. Oil seals are made from various materials, each tailored to suit different operating conditions and environments. From rubber to metal and Teflon, these seals ensure the integrity of the oil system, enhancing the overall efficiency and lifespan of the machinery.
- E3's spark plugs utilize a patented Edge-to-Edge (E3) technology that reduces pre-ignition, misfires, and fouling, ensuring a longer lifespan than conventional spark plugs. The design also promotes a cleaner burn, reducing emissions and promoting environmental sustainability. The Diamond Fire series further incorporates a triple-ground side electrode, which aids in the distribution of heat, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal combustion.

Tighten all fixings in sequence to the correct torque (consult a service manual or dealer if you are uncertain of the torque).
The sealing element, also known as the sealing lip, forms the interior of the oil seal. Various materials can make up the lip depending on the application’s specific needs. Below are some commonly used materials:
One of the key features of Mico spark plugs is their advanced technology, which allows for better ignition and combustion. This leads to smoother engine operation and enhanced fuel efficiency, ultimately saving you money on fuel costs. Additionally, Mico spark plugs are engineered to resist fouling and corrosion, ensuring consistent performance over time.

NBR, also known as nitrile rubber or nitrile, is the most popular material for an oil seal because of its good resistance to many oils and greases, such as mineral grease and hydraulic oil. Depending on their composition, synthetic oils and greases, such as those based on glycol, can damage NBR rubber materials. Depending on the amount of glycol, a PTFE lip seal may be the best choice. NBR is also unable to cope with contact with acids and solvents. The rubber is suitable for oil and grease at temperatures from -35 °C to 100 °C.
When the bore and shaft centers are misaligned, seal life will be shortened because the wear will be concentrated on one side of the sealing lip.
In addition to preventing oil leakage, the piston oil seal also helps to reduce friction between the piston and the cylinder wall. This is important for maximizing engine efficiency and prolonging the life of the engine components. By reducing friction, the seal helps to improve fuel economy and reduce wear and tear on the engine.
