The self-tapping feature of these screws also saves time and effort during installation. Unlike traditional screws that require a pre-drilled hole, countersunk head self-tapping screws can be driven directly into the material without the need for any pilot holes

From this kind of standard immersion testing, one would expect that bisphenol-cured VDF/HFP/TFE fluoroelastomers would not give good service life as oil seals. Similar tests with other elastomers, such as HNBR, silicone, and acrylic rubbers, show less loss of elongation. However, it is found that, in actual service, FKM shaft seals6 have much longer service life than seals of the other elastomers. In a Japanese study of FKM lip seals, rear crankshaft seals from high-mileage automobiles (70,000–280,000 mi ie, 110,000–450,000 km) were collected and examined. No serious oil leakage was found when the seals were removed from the engines. Some deposits were found around the seal lip and on the garter spring holding the lip against the shaft. No surface cracks were found on the seal lip, and only minor crazing on the crankcase side of the flexure portion of the seal in some samples. The seal compositions were not noted, but most were probably VDF/HFP/TFE elastomers with 68–69% fluorine content.
Environmental Considerations and Compliance
These cassette seals are widely used in wheel-end applications, such as the axles of agricultural machinery or off-road trucks.
Polyacrylate (ACM) Oil Seals
Several variables, including maximum temperatures, required lubricants, available space, and more, may influence your choice of bearing seal. Each factor can affect the type of bearing best for your application, the amount of material required, and other factors. Although the choice of seals is crucial to the effectiveness of your bearings, you don’t have to make that choice alone. Our experts at NBC bearings can collaborate with you to identify the bearings and bearing seals that provide the best, most affordable solution for your application, environment, and finished product.

The design of high-pressure oil seals is also critical to their performance. The seals must be able to maintain a tight fit between the moving parts, while also allowing for some flexibility to accommodate minor variations in the shaft or housing. This balance between rigidity and flexibility is essential for ensuring a reliable seal under high pressure conditions.
