- Regular maintenance and inspection of wheel hub oil seals are essential

- The dimensions 40x52x7 denote the outer diameter, inner diameter, and thickness of the oil seal respectively. The first number, 40, refers to the outer diameter, which is the measurement from one side of the seal to the other when it's placed on the outer surface of the component it seals. The middle number, 52, signifies the inner diameter, the size of the shaft or housing bore it fits around. Lastly, the 7mm thickness contributes to the seal's durability and ability to withstand pressure.
- 3. Size and Fit The size and fit of the car oil seal are crucial factors to consider when determining its price. Seals that are specifically designed for your vehicle's make and model will typically be more expensive than generic seals that may not fit as well. Additionally, larger seals may require more material and labor to produce, which can increase their cost.
- In conclusion, mechanical oil seals are indispensable components in machinery and equipment, providing essential protection against oil leakage and contamination. By selecting the appropriate type of oil seal for your application and maintaining it properly, you can ensure the smooth operation and longevity of your equipment.

A piston oil seal, also known as a piston seal ring, is a critical component in an internal combustion engine. It plays a crucial role in preventing oil leakage from the piston and ensuring efficient engine operation.
Above, are all the components of an oil seal and all its naming conventions. Beyond selecting the correct size, the three primary selection criteria are Material, Lip, and Case. If you have an oil seal you’d like custom designed and made, send us your specifications through our Oil Seal Design Form.
These types are made with a metal outer case and a PTFE lip. They are suitable for a wide range of temperatures from -90 °C to +260 °C.These lip seals can also be used for higher pressures of up to 10 bar (special types up to 25 bar) and rotational speeds of up to 40-45 m/s. Certain grades of PTFE are suitable for use in pharmaceutical and food applications. One important point is that PTFE lip seals do require a shaft with a harder, smoother finish.

There is a British Standard laid down for the control of synthetic rubbers. BS 3574 (1989) helps to determine shelf life – for instance, Nitrile (NBR) and Polyacrylic (ACM) are Group ‘B’ rubbers and have a 7-year life, whilst Silicone (VMQ) and Fluoroelastomers (Viton®) are Group ‘C’ rubbers and have a 10-year shelf life. PTFE and Leather do not come into this category but like the others should be kept in the original packing for as long as possible away from direct light, dust, and humidity. Ozone, which can also be produced by battery-driven forklift trucks has a very bad effect on synthetic rubbers. Finally, protect the sealing lip – DO NOT hang the seals on nails, wire etc.
