- The fabric reinforcement, comprising around 30% of the seal's makeup, adds an extra layer of resilience and stability. It enhances the seal's resistance to wear and tear, especially under high-pressure conditions. This fabric layer also improves the seal's dimensional stability, minimizing the risk of deformation during operation.
It is important to choose the right type of oil seal for a given application, as it may need to address specific operational concerns such as:
Oil seals come in a vast range of materials and compounds. Even older materials, such leather, are still used today. Nitrile is among the most common materials for oil seals but is slowly losing ground to PTFE, which is gaining popularity due to its effectiveness in high-speed applications.
Unthinkable in the list of seals are oil seals, which provide a seal against splashing oil. The most important oil seals are used for rotating shafts and valve stem seals. Oil seals are intentionally never completely sealed to lubricate the seals and prevent wear.
- A PCV valve cover gasket is essentially a seal that sits between the engine's crankcase and the PCV valve cover. Its primary function is to prevent oil leaks from the crankcase, ensuring that oil stays where it should be - lubricating the engine's moving parts, rather than escaping into the atmosphere. It also seals the vacuum created by the PCV valve, allowing for the controlled release of gases back into the intake manifold for re-burning, thereby reducing emissions.
