- One of the key advantages of TC oil seals is their ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive engines, industrial machinery, and hydraulic systems. Whether it's sealing oil in a gearbox or hydraulic cylinder, TC oil seals offer reliable performance and long-lasting durability.
- The elasticity and flexibility of silicone gaskets enable them to conform to irregular surfaces, creating a tight seal that prevents leaks and protects sensitive components
die cut silicone gaskets. Their non-stick nature further enhances their sealing capabilities, reducing the chances of adhesion to mating surfaces. This property is crucial in food and beverage industry, where hygiene standards are paramount.
INTRODUCTION TO OIL SEALS AND HOW THEY ARE USED

No single physical property of rubbers is responsible for the successful performance of an oil seal or ‘O’ ring. The ultimate tensile strength, breaking elongation, modulus, shore hardness, creep and stress relaxation in tension and compression loads are all important physical properties that characterize a seal or ‘O’ ring. Compression strength and set together with stress relaxation or decay are important for effective sealing. The difference in these properties in a swollen seal is highly critical. An optimum swelling value in a fluid medium is a desirable feature. De-swelling decreases the seal pressure against the wall of the housing where the seal is fixed, leading to leakage. Over swelling minimizes the physical properties of the rubber. Seals made of polysulfide rubbers have extreme fuel resistance but undesirably high compression set. The effect of temperature on the seal is an important factor. Swelling under stress can increase at higher temperatures and a suitable compounding technique should be adopted to reduce this effect.

Nitrile rubber offers good durability for general use, while the flexibility of the spring behind the sealing lip keeps the oil seal firmly in place against the moving part.

An oil seal is a device used to prevent dirt, dust, water, or any other foreign matter from contaminating shafts and bearings in the rotary shaft equipment. Also known as a shaft seal or dirt seal, it also blocks the leakage of lubricants such as grease and oil along a rotating shaft.
