- Viton Oil Seals – Viton is a form of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer; these seals provide resistance in both high temperatures up to 250°C and low compression set components. They are also strong against abrasions and chemicals, so they can be used in machinery and elements that operate with solvents and petroleum.
- Oil seal dimensions play a critical role in ensuring the efficient operation of mechanical systems. They affect the seal's ability to withstand pressure, provide a tight seal, and maintain the integrity of the system.
⑤ Oil seals are called rotary shaft seal or radial lip also.

Silicone oil seals, which are also called VMQ, have strong resistance to temperature, which ranges from -140 degrees Fahrenheit to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also resistant to ozone, light, and harsh weather conditions. Silicone is frequently used in hydraulics and pneumatics, as well as in the food and medical industries. Due to the material’s transparency and flexibility, it’s commonly chosen for the manufacturing of o-rings, molded parts, and flat seals, as well as electrical insulators.

The other way oil seals work is by stopping outboard materials that can damage the machine or contaminate its lubricant. The outboard materials that the oil seal will need to stop depend on the application. However, the most common kinds are dirt, moisture, and the particles produced during manufacturing.
In conclusion, oil seals play a critical role in high-pressure systems by preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the machinery. With proper design, materials, and maintenance, high-pressure oil seals can withstand the extreme pressures and harsh conditions commonly found in industrial settings. By investing in quality seals and regular maintenance, operators can ensure the reliability and efficiency of their high-pressure systems for years to come.
