Have you found the right oil seal for your application? The next step is a precise and error-free assembly, so that the oil seal is fitted without being damaged. If you are replacing an existing oil seal, you must first disassemble it with the same care and precision. In this article, you will read all about the different steps of an appropriate (dis)assembly process that contributes to optimal operation within the application.
What Benefits Do Oil Seals Provide?
An oil seal is designed to perform three major functions: to prevent lubricants from leaking outside the seal even under high pressure, to act as a barrier to retain the lubricating oil, and to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the unit.

How are Oil Seals made?
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.

The 40mm rubber gasket is a versatile sealing solution that is commonly used in plumbing systems, automotive engines, hydraulic systems, and other machinery where a tight seal is required. Made from high-quality rubber materials, these gaskets are designed to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

The oil seal gets its structural stability from an interior metal ring which serves as an inner skeleton. The outer skin is made of a more flexible material like nitrile rubber or other materials based on the physical environment of the seal. A spring on the lip of the seal supports the lip and keeps the lubricant from leaking. The lip construction is what blocks contaminants from outside.
