3) Metal case and spring material

Oil seals are a crucial component in any high-pressure system, serving the important role of preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the system. These seals are designed to withstand the high pressures typically found in hydraulic systems, engines, compressors, and other machinery where oil leakage can cause serious damage.
With the help of tips and information from our suppliers, our specialists will be happy to explain how to install oil seals. Please read the instructions carefully before installation.
Another important factor to consider is the temperature range in which the gasket will be used. Natural rubber gaskets have a broad temperature range, but it is crucial to select a gasket material that can withstand the specific temperature extremes of your application without losing its sealing properties.
This is often the material of choice for the oil industry due to the extensive temperature range the material can sustain. Benefits include:
Nitrile is suitable for environments that have a temperature range of -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It is compatible with a variety of fluids, such as hot & cold water, silicone oil, animal & vegetable fat, hydraulic fluid, and gas oil. Nitrile is also a perfect material to use for any application that needs shock absorbers as it’s resistant to grease and abrasion.
After the oil seal is positioned in the groove, apply even pressure to the oil seal using a seal driver or a similar tool. This will help to seat the oil seal firmly in the groove and prevent it from moving during use. Make sure to apply the pressure evenly and gently, as applying too much force can damage the oil seal or cause it to deform.
Oil seal specifications
Metal O.D. wall type Ensures improved fitting retention between the seal O.D. and the housing bore.
NBR rubber is above all resistant to oils, especially hydraulic oils, lubricants, petrol and other aliphatic hydrocarbons, diluted acids and lyes. Good physical values such as high friction resistance and ruggedness and good temperature resistance (-25 °C up to +120 °C, in part to -40 °C) give this natural rubber a wide range of uses.
Polytetrafluoroethylene
Chemical resistant
Low coefficient of friction poor elastic properties not wear resistant if used by dynamic applications



oil seal types. Labyrinth seals are designed to provide a barrier to the leakage of oil by creating a tortuous path for the oil to flow through. V-ring seals, on the other hand, are designed to provide a more dynamic sealing solution by conforming to the shaft, thus preventing oil leakage.

Oil seals are used in a great many machines.
This is almost similar to that of ‘A’ type seal. But this has the metal case placed outside. When the housing is rough, temperature is high and working conditions are severe, this type is preferred
