ELASTOMER MATERIAL + PTFE – THE PERFECT COMBINATION
- The primary function of a cylinder head gasket is to create a tight seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. This seal is essential for several reasons. First, it prevents the mixing of coolant and engine oil, which can cause serious damage to the engine. Second, it ensures that combustion gases do not escape from the combustion chamber, which can lead to a loss of power and efficiency. Finally, it helps maintain the proper pressure within the engine, which is crucial for optimal performance.
The basic principle of an oil seal is fairly straightforward. It is installed adjacent to the bearing, with the flexible lip against the rotating shaft and the casing pressed into the housing to hold the seal in place. It’s important that the sealing lip is lubricated to prevent it from overheating as a result of any generated friction. It’s also crucial to understand which type of seal is appropriate for your particular machinery. Before selecting your seal, consider the environment, temperature, pressure and shaft speed of your machine, as well as the type of medium the seal will come into contact with during operation. These considerations will all determine the size, colour, and type of lip material or sealing element to choose, and whether it can be sealed in or sealed out.
- The Indispensable Role of Rubber Gasket Seals in Modern Industry
An oil seal, also known as crankshaft retainer, is a small device, but essential to ensure the proper engine operation. It plays a key role in all moving parts of an engine, acting as a physical barrier. This mechanical seal fulfils the dual purpose of sealing a rotary shaft to maintain the necessary lubrication (avoiding leaks) and preventing other foreign matter from contaminating shafts and bearings in the rotary shaft equipment.
