To overcome these obstacles, engineers employ a range of strategies
Moreover, their design flexibility means they can be custom-built to fit any industrial setting, regardless of scale or complexity


ERIKS type M (type B according to the DIN standard) has a single metal casing and rubber sealing lip. Since the casing is made of metal, it must be fitted in a well-finished, undamaged groove. Large volumes of oil seals with metal casings are often cheaper, which is why they are often used as original equipment in machines. However, if an oil seal has to be replaced, types with a rubber exterior (type R or RST) are easier to fit. Type MST is similar to M and commonly used. The difference is the dust lip in the MST oil seal that prevents dust and dirt reaching the sealing lip, and extends its service life in dusty environments.
In automotive applications, the proper functioning of oil seals is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of critical components. Trailer hub oil seals and Tora oil seals, among others, are essential for preventing oil leakage, minimizing friction, and protecting internal components from wear and damage. High-quality oil seals contribute to the overall efficiency, safety, and reliability of vehicles and machinery.



One common reason leaking occurs in engines is that debris is caught in the fork seal, holding it open and allowing oil to sneak by. So, how do you fix this? This is where the little circular devices come in—oil seals.

Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.
