5 Reasons Why PTFE Seals are an Excellent Choice for Automotive Applications


Automotive PTFE Shaft Seals

In this article, we are going to explore the reasons why PTFE seals are among the best choices for many automotive applications.  You’ll find PTFE seals in fuel cell seals, fuel injection pumps, steering wheel seals, air conditioning, compressor seals, hydraulic seals, and more.  We’re going to focus our attention on PTFE shaft seals.  Let’s take a look!

Critical Factors: Reverse Engineering Polymer Seals, Bellows, Diaphragms, & Bearings


What is Reverse Engineering?

Reverse engineering means to recreate a part based on available data about it.  Keep in mind that the goal of reverse engineering is not so much as to create a part that looks and feels identical to the original part (although it can be), but rather provides the same (or better) performance as the original part.  The material might be different.  While it will likely fit in the same space envelope, non-critical geometry might not be the same.  However, the part achieves the same purpose and performs the same function.
