Oil seals come in various shapes to fit the machines and substances to be sealed.
Figure 2 shows the structure and the names of the various components of the most typical oil seal.
The functions of the various components are also indicated in Table 1.
For more severe oil-seal service at temperatures of 160°C (320°F) or higher for extended periods, more resistant fluoroelastomer compositions are required for long service life. High-fluorine VDF/PMVE/TFE elastomers, along with TFE/olefin FEPM elastomers, are much less susceptible to attack by oil additives. TFE/P fluoroelastomers have the requisite chemical resistance, but have low fluorine content, leading to relatively high swell and to soft vulcanizates with lower wear resistance than desired.
In addition to their reliability and durability, floating oil seals are also easy to install and maintain
. These seals do not require complex installation procedures or special tools, making them a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs. With proper care and regular inspection, floating oil seals can continue to provide effective sealing performance for years to come.
