One of the key benefits of using wafer head screws is their ability to maintain consistent torque levels throughout the installation process. This is achieved through the use of precision threads and high-quality materials, which ensure that the screws provide a reliable clamping force without over-tightening or stripping. This consistency is essential for maintaining the electrical contact between the components and the wafer board, which is critical for optimal device performance This consistency is essential for maintaining the electrical contact between the components and the wafer board, which is critical for optimal device performance

rubber sheet white gasket. This involves placing the rubber material into a mold and applying heat and pressure to shape it into the desired form. The resulting gasket is then trimmed to the correct dimensions and surface finished to ensure a proper seal.


An oil seal, also known as crankshaft retainer, is a small device, but essential to ensure the proper engine operation. It plays a key role in all moving parts of an engine, acting as a physical barrier. This mechanical seal fulfils the dual purpose of sealing a rotary shaft to maintain the necessary lubrication (avoiding leaks) and preventing other foreign matter from contaminating shafts and bearings in the rotary shaft equipment.
Additionally, lubricants can be used on both sides of the oil seal to reduce friction and enhance sealing performance. The sealing process is crucial for preventing contaminants from entering machinery or equipment while keeping essential fluids contained within.
Nitrile Oil Seals - Nitrile oil seals, which is the commonly used term for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber seals, is a very good general-purpose option due to the flexibility of use across a variety of components. The resistance is strong against fats, hot water, gasoline, mineral oils, grease and animal oils, making them the most often-used oil seals. They do not have a wide temperature range, making them a poor choice for machinery that can see extreme changes in temperature.

A typical oil seal consists of three common parts: an outer ring, the sealing element, and a spring. The exterior metal ring component provides strength and rigidity to the oil seal in the bore or recessed groove. Attached to that ring is the sealing element. This flexible interior component of the oil seal, the O-ring, prevents any fluid leaks between the shaft and housing. A spring ensures the constant pressure that deforms the O-ring, creating a reliable seal while maintaining radial force on the shaft.


Several variables must be considered when selecting oil seals. The physical dimensions and materials will vary depending on the environment of use. In addition, oil seals must remain lightweight, compact, and exhibit high self-lubrication performance.

There are several materials used to manufacture oil seals. They are discussed below.
