This can lead to engine misfires, reduced power, or difficulty starting This can lead to engine misfires, reduced power, or difficulty startingLeather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.

- In addition to their sealing capabilities, radial oil seals also provide additional benefits. For example, they can help to reduce noise and vibration in the machine by absorbing shock loads and minimizing the amount of movement between the shaft and the housing. They can also help to extend the life of the machine by preventing the ingress of contaminants and debris that can cause wear and damage to other components.
