Explanation:
a seat is a part or surface on which another part rests or fits - Collins Concise English Dictionary

I am not sure what will seat firmly and accurately in the housing bore, the seals or the shaft. Probably the seals?

Compare 'for smooth running' - a car engine
for clean, fast cooking

In my opinion, 'seat' is a technical term meaning to rest or fit (properly),in regard to machinery, assembly, etc.

it's a noun.

Explanation:
otherwise, the phrase should be reorganized as "firmly and accurately seating". 不过，我认为也可将其译成动词。
