Oil seals come in various shapes to fit the machines and substances to be sealed.
Figure 2 shows the structure and the names of the various components of the most typical oil seal.
The functions of the various components are also indicated in Table 1.No. - The F7RTC spark plug, manufactured by renowned brands like Bosch, NGK, or Denso, is known for its exceptional quality and reliability. The F in the model name typically refers to the thread size and type, indicating that it is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and even small engines. The 7 often signifies the heat range, denoting that this plug has a medium heat range, ensuring optimal heat dissipation and preventing overheating or fouling.

AVAILABLE OIL SEAL STYLES & MATERIALS
This type of oil seal can withstand only low speed and friction. It is recommended in places where thick fluid or grease is to be sealed. This is not recommended for difficult applications.
Seals are designed to create a tight seal around the shaft by utilising a combination of lip geometry, surface tension, and lubrication. When the shaft rotates, the lip of the oil seal comes into contact with the shaft surface, creating a frictional force that generates heat. This heat helps to soften and conform the elastomeric material of the oil seal to the shape of the shaft, ensuring an effective sealing action.
What are rotary shaft seals?
Seals are classified by O.D. wall material, lip type, and whether they have a spring or not.
Major oil seals are specified in ISO 6194-1 and JIS B 2402-1.
Table 2 shows the common types of oil seals, while Table 3 shows the features of each type of oil seal.
Table 4 lists the JTEKT oil seal type codes and corresponding ISO and JIS standards.
Our suppliers try to provide the best quality oil seals and products are in some cases optimised to improve performance and fitment. Corteco is one of these brands, whose case studies we have listed for you.
