  • Moreover, a compromised valve cover gasket can allow debris and moisture to enter the engine, leading to corrosion or even engine failure in extreme cases
  • Materials for Oil Seals

  • Polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE - Teflon)

  • Regular maintenance and inspection of high pressure oil seals are important to ensure they are functioning correctly. Over time, seals can wear out or become damaged, leading to leaks and potential system failures. By monitoring the condition of the seals and replacing them when necessary, equipment owners can avoid costly repairs and downtime.
  • Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.

  • The skeleton oil seal is a typical representative of the oil seal. Generally speaking, the oil seal refers to the skeleton oil seal. The function of the oil seal is generally to isolate the parts that need to be lubricated in the transmission parts from the output parts, so as not to allow the leakage of lubricating oil. The skeleton is like the steel bars in the concrete member, which acts as a reinforcement and enables the oil seal to maintain its shape and tension.

  • Temperature - Just like pressure, the temperature that your oil seal will be operating in must be known so that you can choose one that can withstand the heat or cold. PTFE have the widest range of temperature, making them useful for machines who can see usage in extreme weather or elements.

  • Type C Oil seal

  • The shaft surface must be in perfect condition. Have any damage repaired by a specialist.
  • Fluid Types - Various oil seals are able to withstand interactions with oils, fuels, grease, water and more. Knowing what type of fluid the rotary shaft seal will be in constant contact with will ensure the longevity of the seal and surrounding components.

  • Round gaskets, also known as O-rings, are typically made of rubber or other elastomeric materials. Their circular shape allows them to fit snugly into grooves or cavities, creating a tight seal between two mating surfaces. This seal is essential in applications where pressure, heat, or chemicals need to be contained.
  • 3. Remove the old spark plug Using the socket wrench, remove the old spark plug from the engine.
  • Allowable internal pressure
  • There are also shaft repair sleeves that can add a “new surface” to the shaft. Measuring a few thousandths of an inch in thickness, they cover shaft flaws so the seal can make proper contact with the surface.

  • But it's not just about performance
  • Global O-Ring and Seal’s oil seal part numbers are designed to describe the seal size, style, and material composition. When searching for oil seals via our online store, you will not only be presented with your selection but with comparable oil seals of the same dimensions. There are often viable style substitutions that are functionally compatible but with additional features. With over 50,000 unique oil seals in our database, you can cross-reference 215,000 part numbers of OEMs and Manufacturers. In the Search Bar above, simply type the OEM/manufacturer part number alone (no need to type the name), and the oil seals matching that part number will be displayed.width=350
