3. Operating Conditions Consider the temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions in which the seals will operate. High-temperature applications may require specially formulated materials to withstand thermal degradation.

Oil seals are typically made of rubber or synthetic materials that are resistant to oil, heat, and pressure. They are designed to withstand the harsh conditions within an engine or machinery, such as high temperatures and varying levels of pressure. The seal is usually placed in a housing or a groove in order to effectively seal the gap between two moving parts.

2. Automotive Industry In vehicles, hydraulic systems are used for power steering, brakes, and automatic transmissions. Oil seals are essential for these systems to function correctly.

2. Depressurize the System Carefully release pressure from the hydraulic system. This may involve using release valves or following specific procedures outlined in the machine’s manual.
