2. Cast Iron Known for its heat retention, cast iron is ideal for slow cooking and delivering that perfect sear. It also improves with age, with seasoned surfaces developing a natural non-stick quality over time.
- The oil gasket is typically made of a durable material such as rubber or silicone that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures found in an engine. Over time, however, the gasket can wear out and become damaged, leading to oil leaks and other problems. It is important to regularly inspect the oil gasket and replace it if necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the engine.
- When selecting an oil seal, it is important to consider factors such as the operating conditions, the type of oil or grease being used, and the speed and temperature of the rotating shaft. This will help ensure that the seal performs effectively and has a long service life.
• Operational temperature
• Total eccentricity
• Rotational speed
• Substance to be sealed
• Lubrication conditions, etc.
BENEFITS OF OIL SEALS
Properly installed, an oil seal will help keep machinery in perfect working order. Its primary functions include retaining or separating fluids, maintaining a bearing’s lubricity, preventing seal leakage, and preventing the entry of foreign contaminants. Other benefits of Emerson Bearing’s oil seals include:
Material Code ISO 1629
Spring The spring supplements the tightening force (i.e., the lip radial load) to ensure enhanced sealing performance and tight contact between the shaft and the sealing edge.The spring also prevents the deterioration of main lip sealing performance caused by high heat or other such factors.
Some distributors can be removed without separating the gears, and so the arm does not turn.

Applications of Oil Seals
Table 2 a): Common types of oil seals (with spring)
Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.
