Updates in oil seals

The oil pan seal, also known as the oil pan gasket, is a critical component in an automobile's engine system. It is responsible for sealing the oil pan to the engine block, preventing oil leaks and ensuring the proper lubrication of the engine. The seal oil pan plays a crucial role in maintaining the oil pressure and preventing the loss of lubricating oil, which is essential for the smooth operation and longevity of the engine.

What Is an Oil Seal, and What Are Its Elements?

ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.

6.  AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT: Seals perform better when lubricated but some machines will go through some dry spells. When this occurs using a leather or PTFE seal will be more beneficial as those type of seals can operate with less lubrication.

Rubber oil seals have to perform in extreme conditions. Therefore, we accommodate all relevant conditions (mechanical and thermo-chemical phase) to maintain the integrity of the rubber oil seal in these circumstances.
