Common materials used in oil seals include nitrile rubber, fluorine rubber, silicone rubber, acrylic rubber, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. When selecting the material of the oil seal, the compatibility of the material with the working medium, the adaptability to the working temperature range and the ability of the lip to follow the rotating shaft at high speed must be considered. When the oil seal is working, the temperature of its lip is higher than the working medium temperature by 20~50°C. Attention should be paid when selecting the oil seal material. The working range of the oil seal is related to the material used for the oil seal: the material is nitrile rubber (-40~120°C), Aggreko rubber (ACM) -30~180°C, fluorine rubber (FPM) -25~300°C.
Friction modifiers: Friction modifiers help reduce friction when your engine is operating under high temperatures and with heavy loads. This additive can also help you maximize your fuel efficiency.

NBR rubber is above all resistant to oils, especially hydraulic oils, lubricants, petrol and other aliphatic hydrocarbons, diluted acids and lyes. Good physical values such as high friction resistance and ruggedness and good temperature resistance (-25 °C up to +120 °C, in part to -40 °C) give this natural rubber a wide range of uses.
Materials for Oil Seals
Car spark plugs are integral to the efficient operation of the engine, contributing significantly to the vehicle's overall performance and fuel economy. These plugs are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures within the combustion chamber, providing reliable ignition and combustion. Properly functioning car spark plugs are essential for maintaining smooth engine operation, fuel efficiency, and emissions control, making them a critical component in the overall reliability and longevity of the vehicle.
Other maintenance factors, such as
To install them, both correctly and professionally, it is essential to use the right special tool for the replacement part. We recommend replacing this component with the aid of OE repair manuals with complete and extensive instructions.
A: with minor lip
When you start the actual installation make sure that the oil seal is always facing the right direction. So, not facing outwards, but always with the spring facing the side of the medium to be sealed. The oil seal must then be pressed into the bore. Use appropriate tools, such as a bearing fitting tool set, to ensure that this is done evenly. The oil seal must never be forcefully hammered into the bore.


Advantages:
– Very good fitting stability avoiding pop-out of the seal
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces
– Superior radial stiffness, especially for very large diameters
– Cost effective for expensive elastomer materials
– Suitable for use in combination with axial seal
Most ERIKS oil seals, such as the types M, MST, R and RST, are made of NBR as standard.
