How are Oil Seals made?
Depending on the application, premium lip materials may need to be used, such as Ethylene-acrylic (Varmac®). This material features good abrasion and dry running capabilities, higher heat capabilities than nitrile and polyacrylate, and better low-temperature performance than polyacrylate.
ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.
With the help of tips and information from our suppliers, our specialists will be happy to explain how to install oil seals. Please read the instructions carefully before installation.
Nitrile is suitable for environments that have a temperature range of -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It is compatible with a variety of fluids, such as hot & cold water, silicone oil, animal & vegetable fat, hydraulic fluid, and gas oil. Nitrile is also a perfect material to use for any application that needs shock absorbers as it’s resistant to grease and abrasion.
