- In addition to their chemical resistance, cork rubber gaskets also have excellent thermal stability
Fluid side face - The functionality of an oil seal is predicated on its ability to create a tight seal between two moving parts, such as a shaft and a housing. It achieves this by utilizing a combination of materials, designs, and sealing elements that adapt to various operating conditions. These include rubber,PTFE, and other synthetic materials that provide excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear.

Names and functions of seal components
Minor lip The minor lip prevents the entry of dust and contaminants from outside.
Lubricant can be retained in the space between the main lip and the minor lip.
Ensuring Proper Installation and Maintenance
First, an elastomer, most often nitrile, is vulcanised to a metal ring. This creates a stiffening effect that includes a specialised metal tension spring directly behind the sealing lip, keeping the oil seal firmly in place against the moving part.
Even the slightest chip or dent can cause contaminants to infiltrate your oil seal. If there are any scratches on the shaft, a leak path may develop, allowing the lubricant to drip. To protect the shaft from damage, wrap it in a mesh rubber screen and store it vertically in its compartment. This way, it can be shielded from potential cracking.
Construction of an Oil Seal
Oil seals for cars
Regular inspection and maintenance of car engine head gaskets and automotive rubber gaskets are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Proper replacement of worn or damaged gaskets is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of the vehicle's systems. Adhering to recommended service intervals and using high-quality replacement components are essential for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle's gaskets.
The garter spring is located at the end of the primary sealing lip and used to apply pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft. Common garter spring material types are:
