Spring seals manufacturer and supplier in China: What are Mechanical Seals? Mechanical seals are devices that accommodate a rotating shaft while containing and preventing the fluid from leaking out of the enclosed housing. While different mechanical seal designs are available for pumping applications, most have three sealing points. Rotating face that rotates with the shaft; Stationary face fitted to the pump housing; Interface portion between the rotating and stationary face of the seal. These three sealing points ensure that the fluid contained within the pump housing does not leak while also preventing dust particles in the atmosphere from entering the housing. The mechanical seals are usually made up of different materials to prevent sticking. Typically, one side of the seal uses softer materials like carbon graphite, and the other is made of harder materials such as silicon carbide or ceramic alumina. However, hard materials are preferred for both surfaces if the pumping application involves abrasive fluids. In addition to the two materials, the sealing unit also comes with O-rings to seal the stationary face on the housing side and the rotating face on the shaft side. Springs are also used to keep both faces pressed. In most cases, the two faces of the seals are also lubricated to prevent friction and wear. Depending on the application, this fluid film can either be a separate lubricant or the process fluid itself. See more information at scraper seals.
Without the pressure pushing them apart the two seal faces would be in full contact, this is known as dry running and would lead to rapid seal failure. Without the process pressure (and the force of the springs) pushing the faces together the seal faces would separate too far, and allow fluid to leak out. Mechanical seal engineering focuses on increasing the longevity of the primary seal faces by ensuring a high quality of lubricating fluid, and by selecting appropriate seal face materials for the process being pumped. When we talk about leakage we are referring to visible leakage of the seal. This is because as detailed above, a very thin fluid film holds the two seal faces apart from each other. By maintaining a micro-gap a leak path is created making it impossible for a mechanical seal to be totally leak free. What we can say, however, is that unlike gland packing, the amount of leakage on a mechanical seal should be so low as to be visually undetectable.
It adopts the most ideal design and improved sealing performance and can minimize the high strength of local stress. This type of seal is designed to simplify installation and reduce particle generation. Moreover, it can be quickly and easily installed and removed to facilitate hardware assembly. It perfectly combines a custom seal design, proprietary bonding technology, and excellent plasma resistance developed for semiconductor applications. And its unique structure can minimize common installation problems.
Since the scraper seal is made of the special material, PTFE, it has an impurity immersion function. Therefore, when combined with the piston rod seal and the metal bushing, it can prevent damage to the piston rod and prevent the accumulation of oil pressure. It has a diameter range of 3-1600mm and a temperature range of -30°C + 200°C. The wiper scraper seal can operate at speeds of up to 5 m/s. It has high wear resistance, tear resistance, low-temperature resistance and good strength. Our wiper seals can be used in combination with piston seals and anti-wear rings to prevent oil in the cylinder from being mixed with foreign matter, which causes damage to the working seal. It is especially suitable for piston rods with a large diameter. Moreover, it has a wide range of applications, such as agricultural machinery, injection moulding machines, forklifts, cranes and so on.
The selection principle of the gasket: according to the working pressure, working temperature, the corrosiveness of the sealing medium and the form of the sealing surface. Temperature influence: In normal temperature and low pressure, use non-metallic soft honey gasket; in medium pressure and high temperature, choose metal and non-metal combination gasket or metal gasket; when temperature and pressure fluctuate greatly, choose good elasticity or self-tightening type Gaskets; in low temperature, corrosive media or vacuum conditions, gaskets with special properties should be considered.
Support and positioning The piston and piston rod are radially supported and positioned in the cylinder barrel. Isolate the two pairs of motion pairs of piston and cylinder, piston rod and guide sleeve to prevent direct scratches, abrasions and strains between the motion pairs. Especially when the motion pairs are all steel parts, they must be isolated, otherwise they will be easily strained. The guide belt also has an important role to reduce the friction and friction work between the moving parts, reduce the ineffective work and heat. Vibration absorption and noise reduction Reduce system vibration and noise. It is mainly filled with tetrafluoroethylene and phenolic cloth, and there are also a very small amount of polyoxymethylene, nylon and soft metal. Discover extra details on dmsseals.com.

Although construction machinery looks extremely complex, the common characteristics that can be summarized are: Usually work outdoors. The work site often changes, and some can move by themselves. The working environment is usually dusty or stained. Nowadays, construction machinery generally adopts hydraulic transmission, because hydraulic transmission has the following obvious advantages compared with mechanical transmission: The power-to-volume ratio is large and the location arrangement is easy. It can realize stepless speed change. It is easy to realize overload protection. Less shock, vibration and noise.
Our structure is simple. Moreover, the seal is easy to manufacture and assemble. One of its remarkable features is its good adaptability to the oscillation and eccentricity of the shaft. The cavity in which it is mounted is compact in size for easy processing. It perfectly overcomes the gap issue caused by the oscillation and rotation of the sealing system when the shaft rotates, and the lip of the oil seal can always be in close contact with the surface of the shaft.
