Oil seals for steel production equipment
- 1. Chemical Resistance 40mm rubber gaskets are renowned for their ability to withstand a wide array of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and oils. This makes them ideal for use in harsh environments where exposure to chemicals is inevitable.
In addition to their sealing and durability properties, natural rubber gaskets also offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids
. This makes them suitable for use in harsh industrial environments where exposure to corrosive substances is common.
natural rubber gasketAn oil seal is designed to perform three major functions: to prevent lubricants from leaking outside the seal even under high pressure, to act as a barrier to retain the lubricating oil, and to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the unit.
Valve cover gaskets and head gaskets are essential components in automotive engines, serving distinct yet crucial roles in maintaining the integrity and functionality of the engine. The valve cover gasket seals the junction between the valve cover and the cylinder head, preventing oil leaks and contaminants from entering the engine. On the other hand, the head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block, ensuring the containment of combustion gases and the separation of oil and coolant passages.

The depth of the bonded seal can be less and the space between the bore and the outside diameter can be changed for ease of fitting. The bonding of rubber to metal is an important factor to be considered in the manufacture of such seals and should be considered carefully, since failure of the bond will cause the seal to fail. The metal case of the oil seal is usually made from mild steel of deep drawing quality which enables blanking, punching, stamping of the steel to the required dimensions.
