- The adaptability of silicone gasket sheets is one of their most alluring features. They come in an array of sizes, thicknesses, and hardness levels, allowing them to be custom-tailored for specific applications. Whether it's sealing a tiny electronic enclosure or lining a massive industrial pipe, these sheets can be precision-cut to fit any contour with exactitude.
Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.

How are they used?
Before removing the cover, note the positions of any pipes and wires round it or fixed to it, which have to be removed before it can be freed.
The reasons for the birth of this new generation of seals is that integrated oil seals reduce the manufacturing time of series production engines. Therefore, significant time savings are achievable when replacing the radial crankshaft seals.

hard rubber gasket. They can be compressed between two surfaces without losing their sealing properties, ensuring a leak-free connection. This feature is crucial in applications where a consistent and reliable seal is critical for the proper functioning of equipment.
