- In the world of industrial engineering and manufacturing, rubber locking gaskets play a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and functionality of various systems. These seemingly insignificant components are the unsung heroes that quietly seal, protect, and maintain the efficiency of countless devices and machinery.
We just discovered that one of the seals on our pumping system is leaking. Do you have any ideas as to what could have caused this, and can you offer some advice for selecting a good seal?
- Metal
- Pay attention to the correct alignment of the oil seals. The sleeve should lie so that the seal can be slid smoothly onto the shaft.
- One of the key advantages of silicone rubber gaskets is their ability to withstand high temperatures. They can maintain their shape and integrity even at temperatures ranging from -100°C to 260°C. This makes them suitable for use in high-temperature environments such as ovens, furnaces, and engines. Additionally, silicone rubber gaskets are also resistant to cold temperatures, making them a good option for applications in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Oil seals are used to fill gaps between stationary and revolving parts of equipment, often known as radial shaft seals or rotary seals. These seals are frequently employed to keep impurities out and prevent lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, or other liquids from escaping out of the system. An oil seal features:

Fluoro rubber (FKM)
High mileage oil is specifically designed for cars with more than 75,000 miles. This type of oil can help reduce oil consumption, minimize leaks and oil seepage, and can also help reduce smoke and emissions in older engines.
