One of the key challenges in designing high temperature shaft seals is the ability to withstand extreme heat without compromising performance. As temperatures increase, traditional seals made from rubber or elastomers may degrade and lose their sealing capabilities. Therefore, specialized materials such as thermoplastics, ceramics, or metal alloys are often used to manufacture high temperature shaft seals.

Regulatory factors and environmental considerations also influence the price of oil seals. As governments and organizations enforce stricter environmental standards, manufacturers may incur additional costs to develop compliant products. These costs can be reflected in the market prices of oil seals. For example, biodegradable or eco-friendly sealing solutions may be more expensive to produce due to the materials and processes involved.

4. O-Rings Though often used in static applications, specifically designed O-rings can serve as effective shaft seals in hydraulic systems. Their circular shape allows them to compress and create a tight seal under pressure.

Furthermore, natural rubber gaskets are highly durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for applications that require frequent assembly and disassembly. Unlike synthetic rubber gaskets, natural rubber gaskets are less prone to degradation from exposure to heat, ozone, and UV radiation, ensuring a longer service life and reduced maintenance costs.

Even the slightest chip or dent can cause contaminants to infiltrate your oil seal. If there are any scratches on the shaft, a leak path may develop, allowing the lubricant to drip. To protect the shaft from damage, wrap it in a mesh rubber screen and store it vertically in its compartment. This way, it can be shielded from potential cracking.
