4. Metallic Seals For extreme temperature applications, metallic seals combined with elastomeric components can provide a robust sealing solution. They offer durability and can operate at temperatures exceeding 600°C (1112°F).
Materials like rubber, polyurethane, and PTFE (Teflon) are commonly used due to their resistance to chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and wear Materials like rubber, polyurethane, and PTFE (Teflon) are commonly used due to their resistance to chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and wearhydraulic shaft seal. The choice of material depends on factors such as the type of fluid, operating pressure, and speed of the shaft.One common type of oil seal is the lip seal, which features a flexible lip that makes contact with the rotating shaft to create a tight seal. Lip seals are often used in automotive engines, gearboxes, and industrial pumps due to their effectiveness in preventing oil leaks. Another popular option is the mechanical seal, which uses a rotating element to maintain constant contact with the shaft, ensuring a reliable seal even at high speeds and pressures.
