Table 14.1. Fluoroelastomers Used in Oil Aging5
Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.
The other way oil seals work is by stopping outboard materials that can damage the machine or contaminate its lubricant. The outboard materials that the oil seal will need to stop depend on the application. However, the most common kinds are dirt, moisture, and the particles produced during manufacturing.
- The performance of a vehicle significantly depends on the health of its spark plugs. Worn or dirty spark plugs can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, engine misfires, rough idling, and even complete engine failure. Therefore, regular maintenance, including checking and replacing spark plugs as needed, is crucial for optimal car performance.
