In engine applications, square rubber gaskets are used to seal various components such as valve covers, oil pans, and intake manifolds. These gaskets help prevent oil and fuel leaks, ensuring the engine operates smoothly and efficiently.

5. Sealing the grease container when not in use reduces the risk of contamination.

What Is an Oil Seal, and What Are Its Elements?

They are typically made from elastomers such as rubber or silicone and consist of an outer metal case with a sealing lip on the inner side.

An oil seal consists of:

What are Oil Seals and how should they be ordered?

The oil seal is generally composed of three basic components: sealing element, metal shell and clamping spring.Types of oil seals include single and double lips, rubber or polymer, metal housing, spring loaded, and internal, external and axial guides.

Furthermore, the 30-50-10 oil seal is designed to withstand prolonged use and harsh operating conditions. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and agricultural machinery.

U-shaped silicone gaskets are versatile sealing components used in various industries for their resilience, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. These gaskets are commonly employed in applications where a reliable seal is required, such as in automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment. The U-shaped design allows for easy installation and effective sealing, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

ERIKS type R (type A according to the DIN standard) is identical in shape to type M, but has a rubber outer case with metal reinforcement on the inside. The rubber creates a good seal in the housing, even if the housing has suffered minor damage or is not in its best condition for other reasons. The RST version has a dust lip. These types are often chosen to replace a type with a metal outer case because they are easier to install and can cope with minor damage to the groove, such as scratches.
