Table 4: JTEKT oil seal type codes and corresponding ISO and JIS standardsOil seals, also referred to as shaft seals, are widely used to prevent the leakage of medium (such as oils and grease) along a rotating shaft. This leak prevention is primarily achieved by the sealing element which can be made from a wide range of materials that are chosen according to each application. They are commonly used in gearboxes, hydraulic cylinders, and related components.
- Spark plug wires are a critical component in the ignition system of your car. They transmit the high voltage electrical current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, which then ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Over time, these wires can become worn or damaged, leading to poor engine performance and potentially even engine damage. Therefore, it is essential to test your spark plug wires regularly to ensure they are in good condition.
- There are two main types of spark plugs commonly used in dirt bikes standard spark plugs and iridium spark plugs. Standard spark plugs are made of a copper core surrounded by a nickel alloy, while iridium spark plugs have a fine wire center electrode made of iridium, a precious metal known for its durability and high melting point. Iridium spark plugs are more expensive than standard spark plugs, but they last longer and provide a more consistent spark, resulting in improved engine performance.
- Installation and maintenance of pulley oil seals are equally important. Incorrect installation can compromise the seal's functionality, leading to leaks and reduced efficiency. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn seals are necessary to avoid potential breakdowns and costly repairs.
- When it comes to selecting a front valve cover gasket, it is important to choose one that is specifically designed for your vehicle. Different vehicles have different engine designs and requirements, so using a generic gasket that is not designed for your specific application can lead to poor performance and potential leaks.
Materials Used to Make Oil Seals
3. Fluid types: Oil seals interact with oils, fuels, grease, water, and more. Choosing a seal material that is most compatible with your chosen medium can help to increase the durability of the seal and its internal components.
Most ERIKS oil seals, such as the types M, MST, R and RST, are made of NBR as standard.
