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.

Leather Oil Seals - Leather Seals, also known as Type L Oil Seals, are most common in components that are subject to dirt and poor lubrication. Since they come pre-lubricated and are able to absorb fluids, leather oil seals are able to provide sealing properties in conditions that synthetic rubber is unable to.

Why is mechanical seal important in this situation? It is because the rotating shaft has to move in a wet environment, but there should not be the leakage of pressurized fluid. Hence, the role of a seal is quite critical.

Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.

To diagnose an issue with the ignition coil, a mechanic may use an ignition coil tester to check for proper voltage output. If the ignition coil is deemed faulty, it will need to be replaced to restore proper engine function.

Nitrile Oil Seals - Nitrile oil seals, which is the commonly used term for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber seals, is a very good general-purpose option due to the flexibility of use across a variety of components. The resistance is strong against fats, hot water, gasoline, mineral oils, grease and animal oils, making them the most often-used oil seals. They do not have a wide temperature range, making them a poor choice for machinery that can see extreme changes in temperature.

In engine applications, square rubber gaskets are used to seal various components such as valve covers, oil pans, and intake manifolds. These gaskets help prevent oil and fuel leaks, ensuring the engine operates smoothly and efficiently.

When deciding on the best type of seal for a particular application, it is best to consider all aspects of the environment and its purpose. If the application requires a spring- loaded seal, that does not eliminate either the rotary shaft seal or the mechanical seal. If the equipment is operating in extreme temperatures, including situations where the rapid movement of the equipment creates extreme heat, a mechanical seal will hold up better than an oil seal.
