Oil seals are commonly used in engines, gearboxes, and other rotating machinery to prevent the leakage of oil from shafts and bearings. They are typically made from rubber or elastomeric materials that are resistant to oil and heat. The seal is installed in a housing or bore that is larger than the shaft, and it is pressed against the shaft to create a tight seal.

Silicone oil seals, which are also called VMQ, have strong resistance to temperature, which ranges from -140 degrees Fahrenheit to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also resistant to ozone, light, and harsh weather conditions. Silicone is frequently used in hydraulics and pneumatics, as well as in the food and medical industries. Due to the material’s transparency and flexibility, it’s commonly chosen for the manufacturing of o-rings, molded parts, and flat seals, as well as electrical insulators.
