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.- Crafted from high-quality oil-resistant materials, the 30x42x7 oil seal is impervious to the corrosive effects of petroleum products. The integrity of the seal is paramount; any compromise could lead to leaks that jeopardize the machine's lubrication and, consequently, its operational efficiency. Such a seal must maintain its flexibility and resilience under diverse conditions, from extreme temperatures to high-pressure environments, all while enduring the constant motion of rotating shafts.

Friction modifiers: Friction modifiers help reduce friction when your engine is operating under high temperatures and with heavy loads. This additive can also help you maximize your fuel efficiency.
(hydrodynamic ribs)
• Rotational speed
• Oil viscosity, etc.
Size #: Corresponds to sizes found on our Oil Seal Size Chart. The interactive chart will display matching sizes based on the dimensions input for Shaft, Bore, and Width. The Oil Seal Size # is hyperlinked to our online store, which will display all sizes matching the selection.
Put a wooden block or a piece of large tube against the seal and gently tap it squarely into the housing until it is fully home. Refit the timing cover, if removed.
There is a British Standard laid down for the control of synthetic rubbers. BS 3574 (1989) helps to determine shelf life – for instance, Nitrile (NBR) and Polyacrylic (ACM) are Group ‘B’ rubbers and have a 7-year life, whilst Silicone (VMQ) and Fluoroelastomers (Viton®) are Group ‘C’ rubbers and have a 10-year shelf life. PTFE and Leather do not come into this category but like the others should be kept in the original packing for as long as possible away from direct light, dust, and humidity. Ozone, which can also be produced by battery-driven forklift trucks has a very bad effect on synthetic rubbers. Finally, protect the sealing lip – DO NOT hang the seals on nails, wire etc.
Most ERIKS oil seals, such as the types M, MST, R and RST, are made of NBR as standard.
