The temperature within the oil seal environment is the main factor that dictates the composition of an oil seal. Generally, there is a range of set temperatures that are optimal for that material. If the operating environment is too cold, the seal may become brittle and, at high temperatures, the seal material may show increased elasticity and become leaky.
Material selection is important to the life of a radial shaft seal. The elastomer’s resistance to temperature, abrasion, chemicals, weather, sunlight, and ozone can affect a profile’s longevity and performance. The two most prevalent materials are Nitrile and Viton. See our Oil Seal Materials page for details on compounds and chemical compatibility.
Outstanding resistance to mineral oils, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as CHCs, concentrated and diluted acids, and weak alkalis. Excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 200 °C) and a low temperature resistance down to -40 °C depending on the type used as well as good mechanical attributes and an exceptionally good ageing resistance make FPM a cut well above the usual synthesis natural rubbers.
Shaft oil seals are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, industrial, and aerospace
. In automotive applications, they are commonly used in engine crankshafts, camshafts, and differentials, where they help to prevent oil leaks and maintain optimal lubrication levels. In industrial applications, shaft oil seals are used in pumps, compressors, and other rotating equipment to protect bearings and other critical components from damage.No. Code and number Example ① Seal type code (*)
