Oil Seals

To securely retain oil, Transcom® oil seals are positioned on a shaft between stationary and revolving elements. They are composed of a rubber or elastomer sealing lip that presses against the shaft's surface to form a seal, and a metal casing that inserts into a bore housing. In order to create a tighter seal and hold onto oil, these seals have a garter spring that forces the sealing lip up against the shaft. Automotive engines, gearboxes, and industrial machinery that need to keep oil in the housing of rotating parts use rotary shaft oil seals. There are four different lip designs available for Torquex® oil seals: single, double, triple, and dust. They are produced under strict quality and tolerance criteria at an ISO 9001:2008 facility. The most often used composite materials are Viton (FKM), Silicone (VMQ), Polyacrylate (ACM), Nitrile (Lip Code N; NBR), and Fluorocarbon (Lip Code V; FKM). Typical Standard Seal Case Designs comprise an outer metal case, a fully rubber-covered case, an outer reinforced rubber-covered O.D., and a nitrile coating to shield the interior steel from the environment. Single lips with a garter spring, dual lips with a garter spring, double lips with a garter spring, single lips without a garter spring, and dual lips without a garter spring are among our standard lip designs. They are the best option for fluid and contaminant sealing seals because we carry more than 25,000 shaft and bore combinations in stock.
