- One of the key applications of high pressure oil seals is in hydraulic systems, where they help to maintain the efficiency and performance of the system by preventing leakage of hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic systems rely on the pressure of the fluid to generate power and move components, so it is essential that the seals can withstand the high pressures without failing. High pressure oil seals are made from durable materials such as rubber, metal, or a combination of both, to ensure they can withstand the demanding conditions.
A wide range of sealing devices are used in various machines.
Sealing devices serve the following functions:Metal inserts must be carefully prepared in operations involving cleaning and roughening surfaces (grit-blasting or phosphatizing), stamping out parts, application of primer (usually by dipping), and curing of the primer (often by baking for a short time at moderate temperature).3 Primer curing minimizes the possibility of wiping primer off portions of the insert by stock flow during molding. The treated metal inserts must be used within a relatively short time (usually a day or less), so that functionality necessary for bonding is not lost by reaction with moisture in the air. Freshness of the primer surface is particularly important for peroxide-cured and base-resistant fluoroelastomer compounds. Compound formulation should be adjusted to attain good adhesion.
