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.

Of course, all rubber materials and seals will provide a range of benefits; however, you will need to consider chemical compatibility, sufficient temperature ranges, pressure ranges, and more.
The group of oil seals used in dynamic applications include radial shaft seals that seal a rotating shaft around its circumference. They are also known as lip seals, but in this blog we will use the term oil seals.
