- As technology advanced, so did gasket automation. Precision became a key focus, with computer-controlled cutting devices replacing handcrafted methods. These CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines could replicate exact measurements and patterns with minimal waste, optimizing material usage and lowering costs.
- In industrial machinery, these seals are found in engines, gearboxes, pumps, and other rotating equipment where lubrication is critical. They not only protect the integrity of the oil but also safeguard expensive components from damage due to contamination. By preventing oil leaks, they maintain the optimal lubrication necessary for smooth operation, reducing wear and tear, and ultimately extending the lifespan of the machinery.
The basic principle of sealing is straightforward – the flexible lip is held against the rotating part (usually the shaft) whilst the casing (or O.D.) is pressed into the housing or bore and holds the seal in place. The sealing lip needs some form of lubrication to avoid overheating and is usually energized by means of a garter spring.

One option is to buy oil seals from specialised gasket and sealing material companies like Polymer Trade Manufacturing Ltd, which is known for its expertise in dealing with gaskets and o rings. These companies not only offer an extensive range of oil seals but also provide expert advice to help customers select the right sealing materials for their specific requirements.
