- Oil seals are an essential component of machinery and equipment, playing a crucial role in preventing oil leakage and ensuring the smooth operation of various systems. Among them, TC oil seals are widely used and recognized for their effectiveness and durability.
As the pressure increases, the radial load and the friction of the sealing lip increase in contact with the shaft. As with temperature, each oil seal has a recommended pressure for optimum performance. Excessive pressure causes the seals to wear more quickly and consequently have a shorter life.
What are Oil Seals and how do they work?
The intake valve cover gasket is a vital component that ensures the proper sealing of the intake valve cover, preventing oil leaks and maintaining the integrity of the engine's intake system. This gasket is essential for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the engine, contributing to optimal engine performance and longevity.
Materials for Oil Seals
These types are made with a metal outer case and a PTFE lip. They are suitable for a wide range of temperatures from -90 °C to +260 °C.These lip seals can also be used for higher pressures of up to 10 bar (special types up to 25 bar) and rotational speeds of up to 40-45 m/s. Certain grades of PTFE are suitable for use in pharmaceutical and food applications. One important point is that PTFE lip seals do require a shaft with a harder, smoother finish.
