Offering a much more superior temperature resistance, polyacrylate seals are perfect for applications such as high surface speed oil. Benefits include:


There is a British Standard laid down for the control of synthetic rubbers. BS 3574 (1989) helps to determine shelf life – for instance, Nitrile (NBR) and Polyacrylic (ACM) are Group ‘B’ rubbers and have a 7-year life, whilst Silicone (VMQ) and Fluoroelastomers (Viton®) are Group ‘C’ rubbers and have a 10-year shelf life. PTFE and Leather do not come into this category but like the others should be kept in the original packing for as long as possible away from direct light, dust, and humidity. Ozone, which can also be produced by battery-driven forklift trucks has a very bad effect on synthetic rubbers. Finally, protect the sealing lip – DO NOT hang the seals on nails, wire etc.
Properly installed, an oil seal will help keep machinery in perfect working order. Its primary functions include retaining or separating fluids, maintaining a bearing’s lubricity, preventing seal leakage, and preventing the entry of foreign contaminants.

Why use NOK-CN factory-made oil seals?
Choosing the correct type for your application
Investing in quality seals will benefit you and your machine in the long run. The cost of replacing oil seals will be higher as cheaper alternatives are constantly being purchased. Not to mention, the efficiency and quality of low-cost oil seals may not be reliable.
Many oil seals are capable of resisting contact with grease, fuel, water, and other elements. Knowing what type of fluid the seal will interact with will help you choose the right oil seal that can withstand those types of fluids.
