Conventional oil seals
VMQ, also known as silicone, is also used for oil seals, but this is less common because the mechanical strength of VMQ is low and this material has poor wear-resistance This makes it less suitable for dynamic applications, but it can withstand fairly low and high temperatures from -60 °C to 200 °C. Many types of VMQ are also suitable for contact with pharmaceutical and food products, so VMQ is an option worth considering. VMQ oil seals are usually available on request.
Preparation
Common lip materials available for use in our oil seals include:

synthetic rubber gasket.
The square shape of the gasket allows for a more precise fit in square or rectangular openings, ensuring a tight seal to prevent fluids or gases from escaping. Made from high-quality rubber materials such as neoprene, silicone, or EPDM, these gaskets offer excellent resistance to temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure.
H7 or H8
2. If the nominal bore diameter exceeds 400 mm:
H7
As the pressure increases, the radial load and the friction of the sealing lip increase in contact with the shaft. As with temperature, each oil seal has a recommended pressure for optimum performance. Excessive pressure causes the seals to wear more quickly and consequently have a shorter life.
Mark the position of the rotor arm by lightly scratching a line on the distributor body. Disconnect the LT lead from the distributor body.


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.
