Iridium spark plugs have gained popularity in the automotive industry due to their exceptional durability, high melting point, and superior conductivity. These qualities make them an ideal choice for modern motor vehicles, offering enhanced ignition performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity compared to traditional spark plug materials. Iridium spark plugs are designed to deliver consistent and reliable ignition, contributing to improved engine performance and reduced emissions in motor vehicles.

3) Seal numbering system

This is one of the frequent reasons for oil seal failure, and this is majorly because of the volatility of any of the elastomer’s constituents. These causative constituents may be part of the elastomer formulation, or gases that got entrapped in the elastomer during the molding process. The deceiving fact about this failure is that sometimes the oil seal won’t show any visual sign of out-gassing, however, sometimes when the out-gassing is extreme, they shrink.

When deciding on the best type of seal for a particular application, it is best to consider all aspects of the environment and its purpose. If the application requires a spring- loaded seal, that does not eliminate either the rotary shaft seal or the mechanical seal. If the equipment is operating in extreme temperatures, including situations where the rapid movement of the equipment creates extreme heat, a mechanical seal will hold up better than an oil seal.
