- Dimensioning an Oil Seal
- Overall, E3 spark plugs are a top choice for drivers looking to improve their vehicle's performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. With their innovative design, durable construction, and easy installation, E3 spark plugs offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for optimizing engine performance and extending the life of the vehicle.
- The 'gasket' part of the term refers to the shape and function, typically circular or annular, designed to conform to the contours of the mating surfaces. The 'seal', on the other hand, highlights its purpose - to provide a barrier against fluids, gases, or particles that could potentially cause damage or compromise system performance.
Make sure the fuel-pipe connections are clean. Unplug them and reconnect to the pump.

Rubber type
When the oil seal material and the chemical are not compatible, there will be a chemical attack, which increases at high temperatures. The only way to remedy this is to select the right material for your application. If you’ll be dealing with harsh chemicals, choose oil seals that are made with reliable materials for their compatibility.
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.


Here are some additional tips that will help you have a successful O-ring installation.
Compared with nitrile rubber, superior in resistance to heat and abrasion
Other important factors are ensuring the hardness and roughness of the shaft are correct. A shaft hardness of HRC 45 is recommended for a rubber sealing lip, with a roughness of Ra 0.4-0.8. A higher shaft hardness of HRC 60 and shaft roughness of Ra 0.1-0.4 is recommended for a PTFE lip.
Figure 5 explains the JTEKT seal numbering system.
Seal numbers consist of
(1) the seal type code,
(2) the spring code,
(3) the lip type code,
(4) the dimensional numbers, and
(5) the special type code,
and Table 6 shows examples of each of these codes/numbers.
One common reason leaking occurs in engines is that debris is caught in the fork seal, holding it open and allowing oil to sneak by. So, how do you fix this? This is where the little circular devices come in—oil seals.
