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.
Typically used in hydraulic high-stress applications where compounds under high pressure are exposed to wear, the benefits of polyurethane seals include:
1. Proper Cleaning Clean the gasket surface before installation to ensure a good seal. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and allow the gasket to dry completely before installation. 2. Thickness One of the defining characteristics of thick rubber gaskets is their thickness, which can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters. This thickness provides additional support and protection against pressure and abrasion, making them ideal for high-pressure and heavy-duty applications.
