Most standard oil seals have to comply with the DIN 3760 and ISO 6194 standards. Different standard types of oil seals are available that comply with these requirements.
When it comes to replacing the rear shock absorber oil seal, it's crucial to opt for high-quality parts. Low-quality seals may not withstand the harsh conditions inside the shock absorber, leading to faster degradation and more frequent replacements. Regular maintenance checks and timely repairs can help identify any issues with the oil seal before they escalate into major problems.
Natural rubber gaskets are essential components in a variety of industries, from automotive to plumbing, and play a crucial role in preventing leakage and ensuring airtight seals. Made from high-quality natural rubber, these gaskets are known for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions. In this article, we will explore the benefits of natural rubber gaskets and the key factors to consider when choosing the right gasket for your specific application.
These cassette seals are widely used in wheel-end applications, such as the axles of agricultural machinery or off-road trucks.

Black spark plugs are one of the most important components in an internal combustion engine. They play a crucial role in igniting the fuel-air mixture that powers the engine, allowing the vehicle to start and run smoothly.

In addition to their size, 7mm spark plug wires are also known for their durability and longevity. These wires are typically made from high-quality materials such as silicone or EPDM rubber, which are resistant to heat, oil, and other contaminants that can cause deterioration over timeAs type B with dust lip
There is a British Standard laid down for the control of synthetic rubbers. BS 3574 (1989) helps to determine shelf life – for instance, Nitrile (NBR) and Polyacrylic (ACM) are Group ‘B’ rubbers and have a 7-year life, whilst Silicone (VMQ) and Fluoroelastomers (Viton®) are Group ‘C’ rubbers and have a 10-year shelf life. PTFE and Leather do not come into this category but like the others should be kept in the original packing for as long as possible away from direct light, dust, and humidity. Ozone, which can also be produced by battery-driven forklift trucks has a very bad effect on synthetic rubbers. Finally, protect the sealing lip – DO NOT hang the seals on nails, wire etc.
Figure 5 explains the JTEKT seal numbering system.
Seal numbers consist of
(1) the seal type code,
(2) the spring code,
(3) the lip type code,
(4) the dimensional numbers, and
(5) the special type code,
and Table 6 shows examples of each of these codes/numbers.
