The seal features a primary (lip) that contacts the shaft or bore surface, creating a barrier against fluid escape The seal features a primary (lip) that contacts the shaft or bore surface, creating a barrier against fluid escape
They can withstand high temperatures without losing their shape or sealing properties, making them ideal for use in high-temperature applications such as power plants, refineries, and chemical reactors They can withstand high temperatures without losing their shape or sealing properties, making them ideal for use in high-temperature applications such as power plants, refineries, and chemical reactors
ERIKS also supplies the types GR and GRST. These are virtually identical to the types R and RST, except in this case the metal inner ring is also completely encased in rubber. ERIKS uses FKM rubber here as standard, so these seals are ideal for use in acidic environments.

Out of all of the elastomers, silicone offers you the widest range of working temperature ranges. Renowned for its flexibility and low compression set capabilities, silicone is the optimal choice for o rings and other moulded seals.
Installing oil seals correctly is essential to ensure their effectiveness. The seals should be properly lubricated and securely fitted onto the shaft to create a tight seal. Proper installation will help to prevent leaks and ensure the smooth operation of the equipment.
