The primary function of a hub oil seal is to create a tight seal around the rotating shaft, preventing the loss of lubricant and the intrusion of foreign particles. This is achieved through the use of a combination of materials, including rubber, plastics, and metals, which are specifically designed to withstand the high pressures and speeds encountered in various industrial applications. Spark plug replacement is an essential aspect of routine car maintenance that often goes unnoticed until it becomes a problem. Spark plugs, the small but mighty components in your vehicle's engine, play a pivotal role in igniting the air-fuel mixture, thereby enabling your car to run smoothly. Over time, these plugs can wear out or become dirty, leading to reduced efficiency and performance.

Even though it’s better than other materials in terms of toughness and wear time, it is preferably used in dry-running applications. The salient demerit of this material is its cost.
B
Pressure - Many oil seals can only withstand low-pressure applications, so understanding the compression set of your components is key.
In addition to its excellent temperature resistance, it is also resistant to ozone, light, and weather conditions. Silicone can be typically found in the food and medical industry as well as in hydraulics and pneumatics. It is often the preferred material for o-rings, moulded parts and flat seals but is also commonly used for electric insulators due to the material’s translucency and flexibility.
In addition to withstanding high pressures, oil seals must also be able to withstand the harsh conditions often found in industrial settings. This includes exposure to oil, chemicals, heat, and vibration, which can all contribute to the degradation of the seal over time. Proper selection of materials and regular maintenance are essential for ensuring the longevity and reliability of high-pressure oil seals.
O.D. (outside diameter) surface The O.D. surface affixes the oil seal to the housing and prevents leakage , through the fitting area, of substances to be sealed, while excluding contaminants.
