The material of the sealing lip is chosen according to the liquid to be sealed and the rotational speed. For larger shafts, an NBR sealing lip can cope with surface speeds of up to 10-12 m/s, while an FKM lip is suitable for speeds of up to 35-38 m/s.
- In addition to their durability, hard rubber gaskets are also highly flexible. This allows them to conform to the shape of the surfaces they are sealing, ensuring a secure and tight fit. The flexibility of these gaskets also makes them easy to install and remove, saving time and effort during maintenance or repairs.
- The die-cutting process allows for the production of large quantities of rubber gaskets with high precision and efficiency. The use of automated die-cutting machines ensures consistent quality and fast turnaround times, making it ideal for mass production and custom orders. Rubber gaskets can be cut from various types of rubber materials, including silicone, EPDM, neoprene, and natural rubber, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
- Mechanical face seals, also known as floating-face or heavy-duty face-type seals, are typically used in more demanding applications where high pressures and extreme temperatures are present. They consist of two metal rings with flat faces that are held together by springs and form a dynamic seal between them.
- A car engine gasket is a seal that is placed between two mating surfaces of engine components to prevent leakage of fluids such as oil, coolant, and fuel. It is typically made of a thin sheet of material that is compressible and resistant to high temperatures and pressures. The most common materials used for gaskets are rubber, cork, silicone, and metal.

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.

Nitrile is suitable for environments that have a temperature range of -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It is compatible with a variety of fluids, such as hot & cold water, silicone oil, animal & vegetable fat, hydraulic fluid, and gas oil. Nitrile is also a perfect material to use for any application that needs shock absorbers as it’s resistant to grease and abrasion.

The oil seal turbo, also referred to as the turbocharger oil seal, is a vital component in turbocharged engines. It is designed to contain the oil within the turbocharger, preventing leaks and ensuring the efficient operation of the turbo system. The oil seal turbo plays a key role in maintaining the proper lubrication and cooling of the turbocharger, contributing to the performance and durability of the engine.
