- One of the key advantages of thick rubber gaskets is their ease of installation and replacement. They can be easily cut to size or molded to fit specific dimensions, making them a cost-effective and efficient solution for a variety of sealing applications. Furthermore, rubber gaskets are relatively low maintenance and do not require regular re-tightening or adjustment, saving time and resources in the long run.
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.


How to Choose the Right Oil Seal
When choosing a type of oil seal, it is important to consider factors such as environment, shaft speed and pressure of your machine, temperature, and the type of materials the seal will interact with during use. These considerations will ensure that you choose a compatible oil seal for your particular machinery and help you select the right color, size, and lip material or sealing element.

When the requested S-DUO type is not available, two S-types can be filled back to back
2、For products
ERIKS type GV (type C according to DIN) is equivalent to type M, but is a heavy-duty version with a double metal casing. This can be a useful solution with larger diameters in more demanding applications. There is also a version of this type with a dust lip; the GVST (type CS according to DIN).
In general, oil seals should be selected in the order of priority indicated in Table 1.
