To increase the pressure around the shaft and maintain the seal’s integrity, certain lip seals have an extra spring looped into the flexible rubber part.

1. Sealing Element


Rubber oil seals are widely used in various applications due to their versatility, durability, and resistance to oil and other fluids. These seals are designed to provide effective sealing solutions for rotating or reciprocating shafts, preventing the escape of lubricants and the entry of contaminants. Rubber oil seals play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of industrial machinery, automotive engines, and other equipment by ensuring proper lubrication and protection of internal components.
Areas of application of this rubber are suggested by its outstanding temperature resistance (-55 °C to +200 °C), although this must not be applied to hot water or steam. Although silicone rubber almost matches NBR in oil resistance, it does not match the latter's physical and mechanical properties.
Rubber type
Seals, including oil seals, have undergone a great development in recent years and are totally unlike the original product. PTFE has taken over the oil seals market for modern engines mainly because traditional oil seals started causing more and more problems. Such as evaporation of chemical plasticisers from the elastomeric material, which eventually caused engine oil leakage. Now, the focus is more on durability and frequency of servicing.
2. The outer skin is made of nitrile rubber and various other materials which are used based on the requirement.

spark plug wires.
Oil seals normally consist of three basic components: the sealing element, the metal case, and garter spring.
Silicone compounds or “VMQ” offers a wide range of traditional operating temperatures starting at -60°C to 200°C (-140°F to 392°F).

ls3 valve cover gasket. OEM gaskets are recommended for LS3 engines to ensure a perfect fit and reliable performance.
To act as a physical barrier retaining the lubricating oil where it is bound to be.
In addition to providing a reliable seal, the 40mm rubber gasket also helps to dampen vibrations and reduce noise, improving the overall performance and longevity of the equipment. Its durable construction ensures long-term reliability and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
