- Overall, TC type oil seals are a versatile and reliable sealing solution for a wide range of applications. Their durability, ease of installation, and effectiveness in preventing leaks make them a popular choice among manufacturers and engineers. Whether you're working with automotive engines, industrial machinery, or any other application that requires a tight seal, TC type oil seals are an excellent choice.
Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.
- Spark plugs like the 794 000 play a pivotal role in the operation of a spark-ignition engine. They initiate the combustion process by generating a spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber They initiate the combustion process by generating a spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber

794 000 spark plug. A properly functioning spark plug ensures a smooth, efficient burn, translating into better fuel economy, reduced emissions, and increased engine power.
- Spark plugs, the tiny yet crucial components in internal combustion engines, play a significant role in igniting the air-fuel mixture, thereby converting chemical energy into mechanical power. They are the unsung heroes of the automotive world, and their suppliers hold a vital position in the industry's supply chain.
- - Install the new gasket, ensuring a good seal between the valve cover and the cylinder head.
Modern engine concepts, like higher engine speeds and oil temperatures, longer intervals between oil changes and lubricants with modern additives, require new solutions for dynamic seals. They have to withstand the high loads lastingly. PTFE technology is the answer, since it perfectly meets these demands.
NBR
ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.

Before fitting the oil seal, it is essential to check that the oil seal, shaft and bore are clean and undamaged. The surfaces the oil seal will come into contact with must be free of sharp points or burrs. The sealing lip is fragile, so even minimal damage can cause a leak. It is also important that the shaft and bore are correctly finished.



Silicone oil seals, which are also called VMQ, have strong resistance to temperature, which ranges from -140 degrees Fahrenheit to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also resistant to ozone, light, and harsh weather conditions. Silicone is frequently used in hydraulics and pneumatics, as well as in the food and medical industries. Due to the material’s transparency and flexibility, it’s commonly chosen for the manufacturing of o-rings, molded parts, and flat seals, as well as electrical insulators.
