In addition to their resilience, neoprene foam gaskets also provide excellent sealing properties. The foam material is compressible, allowing the gaskets to conform to irregular surfaces and create a tight seal. This sealing capability makes neoprene foam gaskets an effective solution for preventing leaks and ensuring the integrity of equipment and machinery.
All are fitted with a spring to preload the sealing lip. All these types are for non-pressurised or low-pressure applications up to 0.5 bar for diameters of a limited size. For diameter of 500 mm or more, the maximum pressure is 0.1 bar. For higher pressures, special types or PTFE lip seals can be used.

Car iridium spark plugs are a popular choice for modern vehicles due to their durability, high melting point, and superior conductivity. Iridium spark plugs offer enhanced performance and longevity compared to traditional copper or platinum plugs. The use of iridium in the electrode design allows for a smaller center electrode, promoting more efficient combustion and improved engine performance. Car iridium spark plugs are known for their ability to maintain optimal engine performance over an extended service life.
ERIKS type R (type A according to the DIN standard) is identical in shape to type M, but has a rubber outer case with metal reinforcement on the inside. The rubber creates a good seal in the housing, even if the housing has suffered minor damage or is not in its best condition for other reasons. The RST version has a dust lip. These types are often chosen to replace a type with a metal outer case because they are easier to install and can cope with minor damage to the groove, such as scratches.
On some engines you have to remove the clutch-housing cover to reach the rear nuts.
Hub oil seals are essential components in automotive and industrial systems, serving to maintain the integrity of the wheel hub assembly. These seals prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and the entry of contaminants, safeguarding the wheel bearings and other internal components. In industrial applications, hub oil seals contribute to the smooth operation and reliability of machinery, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
2. PRESSURE: Oil Seals cannot endure a lot of pressure. You need to understand your machinery’s pressure capabilities and ensure you use the correct seal to withstand its pressure levels.

It is recommended for use in oil which contains load bearing additives such as EP gear oils
An oil seal is a type of mechanical seal used to prevent the leakage of oil from machinery components. The dimensions of an oil seal are usually specified in terms of its inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness. For example, a 38x52x7 oil seal has an inner diameter of 38mm, an outer diameter of 52mm, and a thickness of 7mm.
These seals are designed to fit snugly around the shaft of the machine, preventing oil from leaking out while also keeping dirt, dust, and other contaminants from entering.
