Rotary Seals
Rotary seals contain fluid or exclude contamination around a rotating shaft. Lip seals establish a contact interface with the shaft; other rotary sealing constructions use different contact or fluid-film arrangements.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Rotary Seals involve rotational motion from a shaft and housing. Used in oscillating or rotating parts, their primary function is to keep lubricated fluids in, whilst preventing the ingress of contaminants, such as mud and water.
Important factors to consider when choosing a rotary seal is the frictional heat buildup, material stretch, compression (squeeze), operational temperature limits, shaft and glandular machining.
Shaft finish, eccentricity, lip loading and lubrication determine contact behaviour. PTFE lips and elastomer lips have different construction and operating boundaries. Pressure, speed and temperature ratings should be evaluated together rather than as independent maxima.
What turns activity into demand
A replacement seal inherits the shaft’s condition. Installed seal count alone does not show the frequency or value of successful repair. Separate radial shaft seals from mechanical face seals and complete rotary feedthroughs when comparing product units.
The commercial boundary
Separate radial shaft seals from mechanical face seals and complete rotary feedthroughs when comparing product units.
