Viton (FKM) Oil Seals Dubai
Viton (FKM) oil seals are rotary shaft seals made from high-performance elastomers designed for higher temperatures and chemical resistance. Compared with NBR seals, FKM profiles handle hotter oils, fuels, and more aggressive media with longer service life. Myra Trading supplies Viton (FKM) oil seals in Dubai and across the UAE for pumps, gearboxes, compressors, and industrial rotating equipment.
Typical Equipment, Industries, and Fit
- High-temperature gearboxes
- Pumps, compressors, and blowers
- Engines and process equipment
- Manufacturing and utilities
- Oil & gas and marine services
- Process industries and maintenance
- Higher temperature resistance for hot oils
- Improved chemical resistance to fuels
- Longer service life in harsh duty cycles
Lip Configuration and Profile Options
FKM seals are supplied in single-lip or double-lip profiles, with spring-loaded options to maintain contact at higher temperatures.
Metal-cased or rubber-covered OD options match housing condition and fit. Most designs handle bi-directional rotation; confirm for directional lips when required.
FKM maintains sealing properties in higher temperature ranges compared to NBR.
Better resistance to fuels, oils, and mild chemicals in industrial duty.
Correct lip profile and shaft finish reduce wear and extend seal life.
Media Compatibility for FKM Oil Seals
Typical temperature ranges are shown for guidance. Final selection depends on speed, media, and exposure conditions.
NBR
Typical -30C to +100CStandard choice for mineral oils and greases where heat exposure is limited.
- Gear oil
- Hydraulic oil
- Lubricating grease
FKM (Viton)
Typical -20C to +200CRecommended for high-temperature oil, fuel exposure, and aggressive media.
- Hot oils
- Fuels
- Mild chemicals
EPDM
Typical -40C to +120CSuitable for water and glycol-based media where oil resistance is not required.
Note: EPDM is not compatible with mineral oils.
PTFE
Typical -60C to +250CLow-friction option for aggressive media or higher speed applications where available.
Viton (FKM) Oil Seal Specification Table
| Parameter | Options / Notes |
|---|---|
| ID (shaft diameter) | Measured shaft size in mm or inches. |
| OD (housing bore) | Bore size and condition for interference fit. |
| Width | Seal width to match housing depth. |
| Lip type | Single or double lip, based on contamination levels. |
| Material | FKM (Viton) primary material; alternatives on request. |
| Spring type | Spring-loaded or non-spring depending on duty. |
| Shaft speed | Share RPM; higher speeds may need specific profiles. |
| Temperature | High temperature suitability; confirm operating range. |
| Installation notes | Check bore finish and shaft wear; use sleeves if needed. |
What to Share for FKM Oil Seal RFQs
- ID x OD x width in mm (e.g., 25x47x7).
- Seal profile (SC/TC) and lip count.
- Material: FKM (Viton) + media + temperature.
- Shaft speed (RPM) if high-speed.
- Photo of seal markings or old seal if available.
- 25x47x7 mm, SC, FKM, hot oil, 140C.
- 40x62x10 mm, TC, FKM, pump duty, 160C.
- 55x80x10 mm, TC, FKM, compressor application.
- 70x90x10 mm, SC, FKM, fuel exposure, 120C.
Avoid These FKM Oil Seal Issues
- Choosing FKM when NBR is sufficient, or using NBR at high temperatures.
- Ignoring media compatibility and temperature when selecting material.
- Missing width or lip type when sharing sizes.
- Installing on a worn shaft without a sleeve.
- Assuming all seals with the same size are interchangeable.
