Rotary shaft lip seals are components designed in a ring form, fitted between machine parts in relative rotation, with the function of separating oil or grease from the inside and dirt, dust, water ...

The function of an axial face seal, like felt radial seals, is to protect bearings from contaminants. It functions on a rotating or stationary shaft, but not an oscillating one. Rubber rotary-shaft ...

Bores are sealed with ‘O’ rings' sited in grooves, (figure 1). The ‘O’ rings' are usually of toroidal shape (i.e. circular cross section) and are regulated by BS 1806 and BS 4518. Figure 1. ‘O’ Ring ...

On the face of it, keeping fluids contained seems like a simple job. Your fridge alone probably has a dozen or more trivial examples of liquids being successfully kept where they belong, whether it’s ...

For decades or even centuries, finding effective seals against dynamic surfaces has been a significant challenge that has grown in complexity since the early introduction and advancement of ...

Mechanical face seals are a good choice when minimum leakage of the sealed fluid is the most important criterion. The primary sealing interface is between rotating and stationary members that form a ...
