- Silicone Oil Seals – Are designed to specifically to absorb excess lubricants and less the friction and wear. They offer high thermal resistance and a large temperature range. However, they don’t handle abrasions and oxidized oils well.
QUALITIES OF MECHANICAL SEAL
- A rubber edge gasket, seemingly an unassuming component, plays a crucial role in various industries ranging from automotive to plumbing, and from aerospace to food processing. This simple yet effective sealing solution is the silent hero that ensures the integrity and functionality of numerous systems.

In conclusion, oil seals are critical components in ensuring the proper functioning of machinery and equipment. By selecting the right seal based on material, design, size, and operating conditions, users can prevent oil leaks, reduce maintenance costs, and prolong the life of their equipment. With a wide range of options available, it is essential to choose a high-quality seal that meets the specific requirements of the application.

Auto oil seal Features
Aluminum alloys and resin (materials with a large difference between the linear expansion coefficients) demand sufficient consideration (as there is a risk of failure due to the increased clearance with the oil seal at high temperatures).
The performance of these seals depends to a large extent on a suitable unit load being maintained at the seal-shaft interface. These seals withstand a pressure of 15PSI and their working depends on parameters like shaft diameter, shaft speed, working temperature, service conditions, etc
What are Oil Seals and how do they work?
The best seal performance is achieved when close shaft and bore tolerances are present. Other factors include shaft eccentricity, end play and vibration.
