Rotary Seals
Achieve Optimal Automotive Equipment Performance
Rotary seals are crucial in automotive component manufacturing due to their role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of rotating machinery. Rotary seals prevent fluid leaks in critical automotive components like engines, transmissions, and axles, enhancing their performance and longevity while preventing environmental contamination. They help keep contaminants like dirt, dust, and moisture out of rotating assemblies, keep lubricating fluids contained in engines and transmissions, and increase the reliability of automotive systems.

Common Materials for Rotary Seals
Ensuring Components Work Smoothly and Efficiently
Several materials are commonly used for rotary seals in automotive components due to properties that enhance sealing effectiveness and durability. The choice of material will depend on the type of fluid being sealed, temperature, pressure, speed, and the specific application. Some typical materials include nitrile rubber, fluorocarbon rubber (FKM/Viton), PTFE, silicone rubber, EPDM, and hydrogenated nitrile rubber. These materials offer sealing effectiveness, durability, chemical resistance, temperature resistance, low friction, and environmental compliance.
