What Is an Oil Seal, and What Are Its Elements?
Maintenance and Replacement of Oil Seals:
Gaskets and oil seals should be replaced if worn or leaking, or whenever removed during servicing. Replacement is simple, but some engine dismantling may be necessary to reach them. Buy gasket sets from a dealer for the make of car, and state clearly for what parts they are needed.
Failure to install oil seals correctly can lead to failure. Factors such as knocking the seal into place may cause its spring to tilt in the bore or be out of alignment. Consider switching to a solid adhesive and applying it around the surface of the spring to prevent it from loosening.
One way to identify a seal that has not been fitted correctly is to check the rough shear of the rubber. To resolve this issue, align the mounting tool before positioning the seal in place.
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.
Different types of rotary shaft seals are available in the market, including radial lip, axial lip, and mechanical face seals.
