The basic principle of sealing is straightforward – the flexible lip is held against the rotating part (usually the shaft) whilst the casing (or O.D.) is pressed into the housing or bore and holds the seal in place. The sealing lip needs some form of lubrication to avoid overheating and is usually energized by means of a garter spring.

Oil seals, which are also referred to as radial shaft seals, rotary shaft seals, grease seals, or fluid seals, are used to close the gaps between fixed and moving parts of mechanical equipment. They are put between moving and stationary mechanical parts to make sure that moisture, contaminants, corrosive materials, and abrasives don’t cause any damage to these parts.

What should you take into account when selecting an oil seal? Different types of oil seals and various types of materials are available, each designed for specific uses. It is also important to select the right size of oil seal for the best results. For this reason, selecting the right oil seal requires adequate understanding of the application in which it will be used.

When selecting spark plug wires and new spark plugs, it is essential to prioritize quality, compatibility, and performance specifications. High-quality spark plug wires should be designed to withstand high voltage and heat, ensuring reliable transmission of electrical current to the spark plugs. New spark plugs should be selected based on the specific requirements of the vehicle, including heat range, electrode design, and material composition, to ensure optimal ignition and engine performance.
