- Jack and jack stands (if access to the underside is required)
- Regular maintenance, including proper lubrication, routine inspections, and scheduled replacements, ensures the longevity and reliability of oil seals, enhancing overall machine efficiency.
EPDM oil seals are less common. They are used in solvent, hot water and steam applications, EPDM resists low temperatures down to -50 °C and UV radiation well. Some types of EPDM are also suitable for higher temperatures up to +150 °C. EPDM oil seals are usually available upon request.
- - Replace the gasket if it shows signs of wear or tear, or if it has lost its resiliency
spark plug valve cover gasket.
- Non-corrosive spring

Oil Seal Manufacturing: Processes and Considerations
Oil seals, which are also known as rotary shaft seals, fluid seals or grease seals, play an important role in closing down the gaps between moving and stationary elements of mechanical equipment.
0.4 to 1.6 μmRa,
1.6 to 6.3 μmRz
2. For rubber O.D. wall type:
1.6 to 3.2 μmRa,
6.3 to 12.5 μmRz
(Firmly affixes the oil seal and prevents leakage through the seal O.D.)

Names and functions of seal components
Oil seals are made out of nitrile synthetic rubber with steel stiffener rings. Other rubbers such as viton, silicon, neoprene or poly acrylic can be used for specific applications. The stiffener rings may be stainless steel or brass where highly corrosive fluids are to be sealed. Springs are generally made of spring steel to IS: 4454:Gr.ll or from stainless steel or bronze for corrosion resistance
