4.  SHAFT SPEED: As different shafts move at different speeds you need to consider the runout, the housing bore, and oil type being sealed. Ensure you select a seal that will not suffer from abrasions or spiralling.

Conventional oil seals

Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.

NBR, also known as nitrile rubber or nitrile, is the most popular material for an oil seal because of its good resistance to many oils and greases, such as mineral grease and hydraulic oil. Depending on their composition, synthetic oils and greases, such as those based on glycol, can damage NBR rubber materials. Depending on the amount of glycol, a PTFE lip seal may be the best choice. NBR is also unable to cope with contact with acids and solvents. The rubber is suitable for oil and grease at temperatures from -35 °C to 100 °C.

Floating oil seals are essential components used in various industries to prevent leakage of oil and other fluids. These seals are designed to float on the surface of the oil, creating a barrier that keeps the oil contained within a system. They are commonly used in gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and other machinery where the potential for oil leakage is a concern.

In addition to size and material, the design and construction of the oil seal are also crucial factors to consider. The 65x90x10 oil seal is typically constructed with a metal casing, a rubber sealing lip, and a spring for added tension. This design helps to create a tight seal and prevent oil from leaking out, even under high pressures and temperatures.

Because synthetic motor oil can cost two to four times more than regular oil, talk to your technician about whether it’s the right oil for your car. If you live in a climate with super cold winters or very hot summers, or use your vehicle for towing or hauling, synthetic oil may be the best type of oil for your vehicle. Older engines could also benefit from synthetic oil, as it can help prevent harmful sludge build-up that some older engines seem to be prone to.

Overall, black spark plugs are a common issue that can occur in internal combustion engines. It is important to regularly inspect and replace spark plugs to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent more serious issues down the line. By addressing the root causes of black spark plugs, such as a rich air-fuel mixture, oil leakage, and overheating, you can keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

Conventional oil is the most commonly used type of oil. It is ideal for light-duty, late-model cars with low to average mileage and a simple engine design.
