Rubber gaskets, commonly used in various industrial applications, serve the purpose of preventing oil leakage and maintaining the integrity of machinery by creating a barrier between two or more components.

When included, the garter spring applies pressure to the sealing lip against the shaft, ensuring a tight seal. The choice of material, like that of the case, largely depends on the environment of use.

Oil seals, which are also referred to as radial shaft seals, rotary shaft seals, grease seals, or fluid seals, are used to close the gaps between fixed and moving parts of mechanical equipment. They are put between moving and stationary mechanical parts to make sure that moisture, contaminants, corrosive materials, and abrasives don’t cause any damage to these parts.

Rotary shaft or oil seals are placed between moving and stationary pieces of machinery to ensure that contaminants, moisture, corrosive materials and abrasives do not damage the various components. They can also prevent unwanted mixing of fluids, including water and oil combining within a machine.

Spring seals are the perfect solution when regular seals are unable to produce a leak-proof mating surface. They are the best substitute for sealing applications involving machinery as they are capable of resisting more heat and pressure than other types of seals.
