Oil seals are a crucial component in any high-pressure system, serving the important role of preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the system. These seals are designed to withstand the high pressures typically found in hydraulic systems, engines, compressors, and other machinery where oil leakage can cause serious damage.
An overview of the different standard types of oil seals and their main characteristics is shown below.
There are several materials used to manufacture oil seals. They are discussed below.
When selecting auto gaskets and head gaskets, it is essential to prioritize quality, durability, and compatibility with specific vehicle models. High-quality gaskets are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of automotive operation, providing reliable sealing solutions that contribute to the overall performance and safety of the vehicle. Choosing reputable suppliers and manufacturers known for producing high-quality auto gaskets and head gaskets is crucial to ensure the reliability and longevity of these critical components.

Automotive gaskets encompass a wide range of sealing components used in vehicles, including exhaust gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, and more. These gaskets are available in various materials, such as rubber, silicone, and metal, each offering specific properties suited for different applications. The selection of high-quality automotive gaskets is crucial for ensuring reliable sealing solutions that contribute to the overall performance and safety of the vehicle.
From this kind of standard immersion testing, one would expect that bisphenol-cured VDF/HFP/TFE fluoroelastomers would not give good service life as oil seals. Similar tests with other elastomers, such as HNBR, silicone, and acrylic rubbers, show less loss of elongation. However, it is found that, in actual service, FKM shaft seals6 have much longer service life than seals of the other elastomers. In a Japanese study of FKM lip seals, rear crankshaft seals from high-mileage automobiles (70,000–280,000 mi ie, 110,000–450,000 km) were collected and examined. No serious oil leakage was found when the seals were removed from the engines. Some deposits were found around the seal lip and on the garter spring holding the lip against the shaft. No surface cracks were found on the seal lip, and only minor crazing on the crankcase side of the flexure portion of the seal in some samples. The seal compositions were not noted, but most were probably VDF/HFP/TFE elastomers with 68–69% fluorine content.
