Viton (FKM/FPM) Oil Seals

BENEFITS OF OIL SEALS
Several variables must be considered when selecting oil seals. The physical dimensions and materials will vary depending on the environment of use. In addition, oil seals must remain lightweight, compact, and exhibit high self-lubrication performance.
The 40mm rubber gasket is a versatile sealing solution that is commonly used in plumbing systems, automotive engines, hydraulic systems, and other machinery where a tight seal is required. Made from high-quality rubber materials, these gaskets are designed to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Lubricants applied between moving and stationary elements of mechanical equipment help to prevent damage. But when the equipment are under high pressure, the lubricants tend to escape, hence the need for oil seals to prevent the clashing of dry parts. Practically all mechanical equipment, including car engines, assembly machines, and PTFE machined parts use these oil seals to prevent harmful interaction that can result in damaged parts.
The outer part of an oil seal is made of metal or rubber, depending on the intended application. Metal-cased seals are a cost-effective option used when the housing bore is made of the same material, allowing for equal expansion and contraction of the materials during use. Rubber-cased oil seals provide a tight fit and are commonly used when metal-cased seals have the potential to fail. They are corrosion-resistant and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures.
The care taken during the installation process will pay off by allowing the seal to work quietly and operate efficiently behind the scenes of your application.


Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR, nitrile)
Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.
Installing and replacing the 75x100x10 oil seal is a straightforward process that can be done by maintenance personnel with basic mechanical skills. It's important to ensure that the shaft and housing where the oil seal will be placed are clean and free of any debris or damage. Proper lubrication of the shaft is also crucial to prevent premature wear of the oil seal.
