- Additionally, twin spark plug technology has made significant advancements in engine design and performance. By utilizing dual spark plugs, engineers have been able to increase the compression ratio of engines, resulting in higher power output without sacrificing fuel efficiency. This has allowed for the development of smaller, more efficient engines that deliver the performance of larger, less efficient ones.
- PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, is a highly versatile synthetic polymer renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance, low friction coefficient, and high-temperature stability. It finds extensive application in various industries, particularly in the manufacturing of oil seals. An oil seal, fundamentally, is a mechanical device designed to prevent the leakage of oil while allowing the rotation or linear movement of shafts and axles. The integration of PTFE into oil seals brings about a myriad of advantages.
contaminated with moisture or any other particle. But the same oil will only last for a month at 212 degrees Fahrenheit if it’s contaminated with little water. This is why the function of an oil seal is very evident whenever it’s used.

There are several key factors to consider when selecting the right oil seal to best protect your application.
Fit the new gasket to the cover or head — whichever the old gasket was fixed to.
The sealing effect is achieved by manufacturing a smaller inside diameter than the required shaft size, which preloads the sealing lip. A garter spring is often used to ensure a constant force on the shaft.
Similar to the housing surface stop technique, this method uses a stop at the machined housing face to set the seal depth. It is typically used in housings with flat outer surfaces. Verifying the placement through visual inspection or with a feeler gauge ensures placement accuracy.

A typical oil seal consists of three common parts: an outer ring, the sealing element, and a spring. The exterior metal ring component provides strength and rigidity to the oil seal in the bore or recessed groove. Attached to that ring is the sealing element. This flexible interior component of the oil seal, the O-ring, prevents any fluid leaks between the shaft and housing. A spring ensures the constant pressure that deforms the O-ring, creating a reliable seal while maintaining radial force on the shaft.

ERIKS type M (type B according to the DIN standard) has a single metal casing and rubber sealing lip. Since the casing is made of metal, it must be fitted in a well-finished, undamaged groove. Large volumes of oil seals with metal casings are often cheaper, which is why they are often used as original equipment in machines. However, if an oil seal has to be replaced, types with a rubber exterior (type R or RST) are easier to fit. Type MST is similar to M and commonly used. The difference is the dust lip in the MST oil seal that prevents dust and dirt reaching the sealing lip, and extends its service life in dusty environments.
Additionally, lubricants can be used on both sides of the oil seal to reduce friction and enhance sealing performance. The sealing process is crucial for preventing contaminants from entering machinery or equipment while keeping essential fluids contained within.
