The seal is usually made of high-quality materials such as rubber or synthetic compounds that can withstand high temperatures and pressures. It is designed to maintain a tight seal even under extreme conditions, such as rapid changes in temperature and pressure during engine operation.

Industrial Oil Seals: Applications and Importance
When it comes to replacing spark plugs in your car, cost is always a factor to consider. New spark plugs can vary in price depending on the brand, material, and quality. It is important to understand the factors that contribute to the cost of spark plugs in order to make an informed decision.


What should you take into account when selecting an oil seal? Different types of oil seals and various types of materials are available, each designed for specific uses. It is also important to select the right size of oil seal for the best results. For this reason, selecting the right oil seal requires adequate understanding of the application in which it will be used.


As can be seen from the seal cross-section shown in Fig. 14.2, shaft seals are complex shapes that require advanced mold design and molding techniques (see Section 7.3 for discussion of fluoroelastomer molding). For some time, most shaft seals were made in the United States by compression molding. Injection molding of shaft seals is prevalent in Europe, and is being used increasingly in the United States. An advantage of compression molding is that preforms (usually rings cut from extruded tubing) are used that closely approximate the amount of stock required for the final parts, so compound waste is minimized. For injection molding, the amount of cured stock in the central sprue and runner (actually a thin sheet leading to the seal lip) is often large compared to the stock required for the final part, so the waste of high-cost fluoroelastomer may be high. Such waste is reduced in modern injection molding designs.
