Rotary Wheel Of Auto Parts

Oil seals operate by creating a tight barrier between two moving or stationary parts, such as a shaft and housing, to prevent oil from escaping and contaminants from entering the system. This is essential for maintaining the efficiency and performance of the machinery, as well as preventing potential safety hazards.
Regular inspection and maintenance of oil seals are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Proper lubrication and adherence to recommended service intervals can help extend the lifespan of oil seals. When replacement is necessary, selecting the correct seal type and ensuring proper installation are critical to maintaining the integrity and performance of the equipment.
Because of the higher temperature resistance of FKM, this material is also chosen for applications where higher speeds play a role, which raise the temperature at the sealing lip considerably. Usually, using FKM will result in a longer life than using NBR. This compensates the higher price of FKM compared to NBR, as an FKM does not have to be replaced as frequently. The low temperature resistance of standard FKM is limited to -15 ˚C.
