VMQ, also known as silicone, is also used for oil seals, but this is less common because the mechanical strength of VMQ is low and this material has poor wear-resistance This makes it less suitable for dynamic applications, but it can withstand fairly low and high temperatures from -60 °C to 200 °C. Many types of VMQ are also suitable for contact with pharmaceutical and food products, so VMQ is an option worth considering. VMQ oil seals are usually available on request.
When included, the garter spring applies pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft, ensuring a tight seal. The choice of material, like that of the case, largely depends on the environment of use.
Oil seal WG1087811 is used by several automotive manufacturers, such as Opel, Fiat and Suzuki, and serves as a good example for an oil seal where oil leakage can occur if fitted incorrectly.

Names and functions of seal components
Spark plugs and wires are essential components in the ignition system of internal combustion engines. Spark plugs play a critical role in igniting the air-fuel mixture within the engine cylinders, initiating the combustion process that powers the vehicle. High-quality spark plugs and wires are crucial for ensuring efficient fuel combustion, optimal engine performance, and reduced emissions. As a result, the quality and reliability of spark plugs and wires directly impact the overall efficiency and environmental impact of the vehicle.
