Make sure that the new gasket is clean, and confirm which way round it fits. The upper side is usually marked 'top', 'haut' or 'oben'.
What Are Oil Seals? Oil Seal Applications & Uses
Oil lip seals play a significant role in several industrial applications to avoid intermixing fluids and prevent contaminants and moisture from affecting the bearings. With such a vital role to play, it is essential to choose the right material for these seals. The choice of the material will depend on factors like the type of fluid being sealed, operating temperature, pressure, and compatibility with the operating environment. The following list of materials is typical for making oil lip seals:
Types of Materials Used for Manufacturing Oil Seals
Leather
Recommended for abrasive applications
Good running properties, due to the impregnated seal lip
Can be used on shafts which have a surface roughness outside the range for rubber seals
Not suitable for water
The temperature range of nitrile is −35° to 120 °C (−30° to 250 °F). Due to this wide range, NBR seals can be used for gas oil, silicone oil, animal/vegetable oils and fat, hydraulic liquid as well as hot and cold water. In addition, NBR is oil resistant and has an excellent abrasion resistance, so for any application that demands shock absorbers, NBR is a perfect choice to go with.
Proper care and maintenance of square rubber gaskets are essential to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. Regular inspection for signs of wear, damage, or degradation is important to prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of the seal. Replacing worn or damaged gaskets promptly can help prevent costly repairs and downtime.
Does it mean the seal stops the leakage completely? Well, on the practical grounds yes because there is no ‘visible leakage’.
