In addition to their strength and durability, metal expansion anchors are also versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications
In addition, the washer head design of these screws provides added stability and support. The larger surface area of the washer head helps to distribute the load more evenly, reducing the risk of the screw pulling through the material or becoming loose over time
Expansion anchors are designed to expand when the resin cures, providing a strong hold in soft or friable substrates such as concrete or masonry. Plug anchors, on the other hand, rely on friction to hold the blockwork in place and are suitable for harder substrates such as brick or stone. Screw anchors are similar to plug anchors but have a threaded shank that allows them to be tightened to provide a more secure hold Screw anchors are similar to plug anchors but have a threaded shank that allows them to be tightened to provide a more secure hold
In conclusion, oil seal manufacturing plays a crucial role in providing reliable sealing solutions for industrial and automotive applications. Leading companies in the sector leverage advanced manufacturing capabilities and expertise to produce high-quality oil seals, while innovations in rubber oil seals and a focus on quality assurance contribute to the overall performance and reliability of sealing solutions.
Despite being a great substitute for more expensive high temperature resistant materials, polyacrylate has a problem of poor water compatibility and cold flexibility.
Bauerle and Bruhnke7 found that aeration reduces the effect of oil additives on fluoroelastomer properties. Some of their data is reproduced in Fig. 14.4,5 showing the effect of aeration of an SF-grade 5W30 oil on the retention of elongation of a VDF/HFP copolymer (FKM-E430), a VDF/HFP/TFE terpolymer (FKM-B600), and a VDF/PMVE/TFE fluoroelastomer (FKM-GFLT). The HFP-containing polymers show much better retention of properties with aeration.

The oil seals represent the most important type of dynamic sealing on rotating shafts. During the last years, we witnessed a great evolution in the technology, starting from their shape to the materials used nowadays.
This technique is used when the seal depth must match the housing surface precisely. It involves stopping the installation tool at the machined housing face. Ensure the tool is perfectly perpendicular to the shaft for best results. This technique is ideal for applications requiring exact seal positioning relative to the housing face.
PTFE, which is used in the well-known brand Teflon®, is less commonly used, but it is the preferred material for specific rotating seals in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. This material is notable for having a very low frictional resistance and the best chemical resistance. It can also withstand a very wide range of temperatures in these types of seals; -80 ˚C to 200 ˚C. The shafts on which oil seals with PTFE lips are used require a harder and finer finish. Something like an axle sleeve can also be used to meet this requirement.
