An overview of the different standard types of oil seals and their main characteristics is shown below.
- Lastly, the 'A' at the end denotes the resistor type, which helps suppress radio frequency interference, improving overall electrical system stability. This feature is particularly beneficial in today's vehicles with advanced electronic systems that can be sensitive to electrical interference.
- Furthermore, the axia spark plug is equipped with a strong metal shell that provides durability and protection for the internal components. This robust construction allows the spark plug to withstand the harsh conditions inside the engine and maintain optimal performance over time. The axia spark plug is also designed to be easy to install and replace, making it a convenient option for vehicle maintenance.
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.
