- The aerospace sector also heavily relies on rubber edge gaskets for sealing aircraft components, such as fuel tanks, air conditioning systems, and hydraulic lines
- Moreover, oil seals improve the reliability and safety of motors. Proper lubrication ensures that the motor operates at optimal temperatures, reducing the risk of overheating and potential fires. Furthermore, well-lubricated components are less likely to break down unexpectedly, reducing the likelihood of accidents or equipment failure during critical operations. This is particularly important in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and power generation, where motors play a crucial role in daily operations.
Conventional oil seals are the traditional seals, which can be recognised by a spring on the inside. These oil seals are made of a metal housing that contains a rubber seal. This part is often made of elastomer and comes into contact with the surface of the rotating shaft.
Polyacrylate oil seals are a perfect compromise between quality and cost. They perform well with high temperatures and chemicals, but not as well as Viton oil seals. Polyacrylate has a temperature range of -25 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to their outstanding resistance to hot oil and oxidation, they are commonly used in automobile transmissions and hoses; however, they are also used for shaft seals, gaskets, and o-rings.
(2) When the ambient temperature is high, polyacrylate or silicon, fluorine, and silicon fluorine rubber should be selected. And should try to lower the oil temperature in the tank. When the operating temperature is too low, cold-resistant rubber should be used.
