- Silicone rubber gaskets also exhibit excellent chemical resistance, meaning they can withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals without deteriorating. This property makes them ideal for use in harsh environments where chemicals are present, such as chemical processing plants, laboratories, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
In addition to the installation procedure, our specialists and suppliers would also like to draw your attention to some cases that occur around oil seals.


Before you start installing oil seals, you need to choose the right size and type of oil seal for your application. Oil seals come in a variety of sizes and materials, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs. Consider factors such as temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility when choosing an oil seal.

When it comes to replacing spark plugs in your car, cost is always a factor to consider. New spark plugs can vary in price depending on the brand, material, and quality. It is important to understand the factors that contribute to the cost of spark plugs in order to make an informed decision.
The allowable total eccentricity is the maximum total eccentricity at which the sealing edge can accommodate shaft rotation and retain adequate sealing performance. The oil seal's allowable total eccentricity is affected by the design of the oil seal, the accuracy of the shaft, and the operating conditions.
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.

Better heat, oil and chemical resistance than NBR
It is recommended for use in oil which contains load bearing additives such as EP gear oils
Seals perform best when they are lubricated, however, some machines quickly go on dry spells. So, in cases like this, choosing a leather or PTFE seal is the right decision to make as both of them can function with less lubrication than other types of seals.
ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.
