One of the key advantages of using self-drilling screws is their ability to create a tight and secure connection between the two materials being joined. The drill point creates a clean hole that matches the thread of the screw, allowing for a tight fit that prevents loosening over time. This is especially important in applications where vibration or movement may occur, such as in construction or automotive projects
Viton Oil Seals - A synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer, Viton is used to make oil seals that provide resistance in both high temperature, up to 250°C and low compression set components. They also offer a high resistance to chemicals and abrasions, so they can be used in elements that regularly interact with petroleum and solvents.
Remove most of the fixings, then support the sump with one hand while you take out the last few.
Metal O.D. wall type (with a reinforcing inner metal case) : guarantees dynamic and static sealing.
Out of all of the elastomers, silicone offers you the widest range of working temperature ranges. Renowned for its flexibility and low compression set capabilities, silicone is the optimal choice for o rings and other moulded seals.
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.

Is the seal you need not available from one of our standard ranges? No problem. We design and supply seals in any material, size and quantity - from very small to very large volumes.
Oil seals are an essential component of many industrial machines and equipment. They play a crucial role in preventing oil leaks, protecting bearings and other crucial parts from contamination, and ensuring the overall smooth operation of the machinery. One popular and widely-used size of oil seal is the 75x100x10 model.
Selecting Quality Gaskets
Cassette Seals
Replace the sump drain plug tightly and refill the engine with the right amount and grade of oil.
Oil seals are widely used as sealing devices for machines.
JTEKT's oil seals are described in our catalog, Oil Seals & O-Rings.
However, the catalog uses a large number of technical terms and is very long, so many people seem to have trouble handling it.
Therefore, this series of columns will summarize the following in order:
• The structure, functions, and types of oil seals
• How to select the right oil seal
• Handling of seals, and causes and countermeasures for oil seal failure

Car Engine Oil Seal: Importance and Impact


Another common cause of black spark plugs is engine oil leakage. If oil is leaking into the combustion chamber, it can cause the spark plugs to become fouled with a black, sooty residue. This can lead to misfires and engine hesitation, as well as increased fuel consumption. It is important to address any oil leaks promptly and replace the spark plugs if necessary.
We just discovered that one of the seals on our pumping system is leaking. Do you have any ideas as to what could have caused this, and can you offer some advice for selecting a good seal?
