When combined, hex head screws with neoprene washers create a formidable duo. The screw offers strength and stability while the washer ensures a leak-proof and vibration-resistant connection The screw offers strength and stability while the washer ensures a leak-proof and vibration-resistant connection
Generally, an oil seal is made up of an outer circular metal part and a bonded inner flexible material (often nitrile rubber) that does the actual sealing.


Free the cover by levering gently round the edge with a screwdriver; take care not to bend the flange.



Lip Seals
DIN


Oil seals are used for essential applications in the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. They are created to avoid leaks from the sealing lip and rotary shaft by forming a thin layer of oil between them. Oil seals could be developed using well-known sealing materials, involving NBR, EPDM, PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE), Silicone,and fluoroelastomer.

If any of these symptoms are present, it is crucial to replace the gasket as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the engine.
The metal case and spring material used in the oil seal should be selected based on the substance to be sealed.
Table 6 shows how to select the metal case and spring materials.

The rubber material used in the oil seal should be selected based on the operational temperature and substance to be sealed.
Table 5 lists the major rubber materials along with their operational temperature ranges.
Note that it is necessary to check the compatibility with fluids.
<N.B.>
Extreme pressure additives are compounds added to the lubricant. They are activated by heat and chemically react against rubber, which deteriorates rubber properties. For this reason, it is necessary to check for compatibility with rubber materials.
