- Platinum spark plugs also offer superior electrical conductivity compared to other materials
platinum spark plugs. This allows them to produce a stronger spark, which in turn leads to more efficient combustion and improved engine performance. This increased efficiency not only enhances the vehicle's power output but also reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
- Viton (FKM) Oil Seal: 75 durometer (+/- 5)
Garter springs are generally used when the lubricant is oil, as it provides the necessary downward force to maintain a tight seal. However, when grease is the lubricant, garter springs can often be eliminated. Due to its low viscosity, grease doesn’t require as much downward force to maintain an effective seal.
The interaction of the integrated seals with the shaft follows the dynamics of the PTFE seals. Often an additional dust seal (rubber lip or felt strip) provides an effective barrier against contaminating particles.
HID (High Intensity Discharge)



Figure 5 explains the JTEKT seal numbering system.
Seal numbers consist of
(1) the seal type code,
(2) the spring code,
(3) the lip type code,
(4) the dimensional numbers, and
(5) the special type code,
and Table 6 shows examples of each of these codes/numbers.
