Istec Oil Seal
The Istec oil seal is designed to ensure complete oil tightness for sensor installations. It enhances equipment reliability, reduces maintenance needs, and maintains a safe and clean work environment by preventing oil contamination.
Solution
Oil leakage through sensor installations is a common issue in industrial machinery, leading to equipment malfunctions, safety hazards, and increased maintenance costs. Many oil seals fail under harsh conditions, allowing oil to escape through installation points. To address this, Istec has developed a high-performance oil seal designed to ensure complete oil tightness for sensor installations.

Multi-sensor sealing gland
The multi-sensor sealing gland is designed to create a safe and reliable pass through for up to four temperature or proximity sensors on industrial machinery. The sealing gland is easy to install, and its design enables users to use one gland type all over the machine which contributes to the machine’s manageability and to reduce number of spare parts.
1/2″ NPT conical thread
The conical stainless-steel thread is easy to install.
Viton compression seal
The viton seal has four feedthroughs to place up to four sensors. Viton is resistant to oils, aqueous media, and most other fluids. Unused holes can be closed with the blind stops.
Oil seal cap
The oil seal cap has an M20 x 1,5 Female conduit adapter connection.
Applications
The Viton compression seal has two variations: 3.8 mm pre-drilled holes and 6 mm holes (±0.3 mm range). This design ensures compatibility with most sensor types across various machines, including:
-
Temperature sensors
-
Vibration sensors
-
Speed sensors
