Rubber Oil Seals
If you ever notice dark smoke coming from the tail pipe of your car, chances are the rubber oil seals in your vehicle are leaky. The rubber oil seals are also called as oil seals, car oil seals, automotive oil seals and oil seal rings. Leaky oil seals fail to prevent liquids and gases from escaping, and thus oil begins to leak into places in your vehicle where it is not supposed to be. For instance, oil enters the fuel mixture and burns, resulting in the smoky combustion. Thus, we see that these rubber oil seals or oil gaskets are nothing but components that fit on valves and pipes for sealing oil inside the required compartments in your vehicle. Their design feature a flexible lip that rubs against a shaft or housing and prevent the leakage or ingress of fluids and dirt from/ into the sealed compartment.
Types of Rubber Oil Seals:
• U-Ring Seals
• V-Ring Seals
• Rotary Oil Seals
• Labyrinth or Clearance Seals
• Bearing Isolators
