- Spark plugs play an essential role in the internal combustion engines that power our vehicles, machinery, and even some household appliances. These small but mighty components are the heart of the ignition system, sparking the life into the engine's cylinders.
- For instance, in automotive engines, these seals prevent engine oil from escaping, ensuring efficient lubrication and reducing wear on critical parts
- Improved Performance and Fuel Efficiency
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.
In this way, selecting the appropriate oil seal will lead to machine design that is economically superior!

By preventing lubricants from escaping, they protect key components of machinery from being damaged by leaks of various fluids. Everything from car engines to assembly machines use these oil seals to remain free from any harmful interactions that can cause serious and expensive damage to any of their critical parts.
