Different Types of Oil Seals

As can be seen from the seal cross-section shown in Fig. 14.2, shaft seals are complex shapes that require advanced mold design and molding techniques (see Section 7.3 for discussion of fluoroelastomer molding). For some time, most shaft seals were made in the United States by compression molding. Injection molding of shaft seals is prevalent in Europe, and is being used increasingly in the United States. An advantage of compression molding is that preforms (usually rings cut from extruded tubing) are used that closely approximate the amount of stock required for the final parts, so compound waste is minimized. For injection molding, the amount of cured stock in the central sprue and runner (actually a thin sheet leading to the seal lip) is often large compared to the stock required for the final part, so the waste of high-cost fluoroelastomer may be high. Such waste is reduced in modern injection molding designs.

Automotive rubber gaskets are widely used in various vehicle systems for their flexibility, resilience, and sealing properties. These gaskets are employed in applications such as engines, transmissions, and exhaust systems, providing reliable sealing solutions to prevent fluid or gas leakage. The versatility and durability of automotive rubber gaskets make them essential components in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of vehicle systems.
