An overview of the different standard types of oil seals and their main characteristics is shown below.
Finally, consider the size and shape of the gasket, as well as any specific design requirements that may impact the gasket's performance. Custom-made natural rubber gaskets can be designed to meet the unique needs of your application, ensuring a precise fit and optimal sealing performance.
Most conventional oil seals are designed only to withstand very low-pressure applications (about 8 psi or less). If additional internal pressure is present or anticipated, pressure relief is necessary.
