industrial sealing solutions in South Africa

O Rings are typically crafted from NBR or VITON Material, but alternative materials like Silicon, Teflon, etc., can be utilized for special applications.

The primary function of an O Ring in a centrifugal pump is to prevent leaks between metal components while also allowing some degree of movement among these parts. For superior quality rings, consider reaching out to top O Ring suppliers in South Africa.

The friction developed by an O-Ring depends on several factors, including the strength of the material, the type and finish of the surface, the strain on the O-Ring, the amount and form of interlocking, fluid pressure, temperature, and the duration of contact between the metal and rubber surfaces.

The lip of the Oil Seal must be compatible with the medium to be sealed. Both the shaft and the oil seal lip should be adequately lubricated to facilitate sliding along the shaft, using either grease or oil.

Oil seals are used to protect shafts and bearings from contamination and to prevent ingress of oil or grease. The oil seals available in South Africa typically comprise an outer circular metal part and a flexible inner part, which is virtually sealed and bound to the metal part using chemical adhesives.

You can determine the size of your Oil Seal by measuring the shaft’s diameter in inches. You can then refer to an oil seal catalogue, like those provided by leading Oil Seal suppliers in South Africa, and locate the size that corresponds to the shaft’s length.

There are several types of Oil Seals, which are used in industrial, agricultural, and automotive applications. The design of an Oil Seal is determined based on its application and the location where it will be used.
