- A spark plug is a simple device with a threaded shell that fits into the cylinder head of an engine. It has a central electrode and a side electrode, separated by a small gap. When voltage from the ignition system jumps this gap, it creates a spark, which ignites the compressed fuel-air mixture inside the combustion chamber. This controlled explosion pushes the piston down, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy, driving the vehicle or appliance forward.
- When considering the importance of oil in machinery, the role of the 12x22x5 oil seal becomes even more evident
Runout
The most common and economical material within the sealing industry, Nitrile, is used in many oil applications, the automotive sector for aircraft fuel applications, military and marine applications, and more.
Our oil seals serve a wide array of industrial sectors both domestically and internationally, and we offer the following as part of our online product catalog:
They are typically made from elastomers such as rubber or silicone and consist of an outer metal case with a sealing lip on the inner side.
Nitrile rubber offers good durability for general use, while the flexibility of the spring behind the sealing lip keeps the oil seal firmly in place against the moving part.
