Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.
Nitrile Oil Seals - Nitrile oil seals, which is the commonly used term for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber seals, is a very good general-purpose option due to the flexibility of use across a variety of components. The resistance is strong against fats, hot water, gasoline, mineral oils, grease and animal oils, making them the most often-used oil seals. They do not have a wide temperature range, making them a poor choice for machinery that can see extreme changes in temperature.
4Furthermore, floating oil seals are versatile and can be customized to meet the specific requirements of different applications. Whether you need a seal with a particular size, shape, or material composition, manufacturers can tailor floating oil seals to fit your needs. This level of customization ensures that you get a seal that is perfectly suited to your equipment and operating conditions, maximizing efficiency and productivity.
Put a wood block at least 6 in. (150 mm) square and 1 in. (25 mm) thick as a spacer between the jack and the sump to prevent damage.
