O ring manufacturer and supplier 2024: Before examining how mechanical seals function it is important to understand other methods of forming this seal. One such method still widely used is Gland Packing. Gland packing is a braided, rope like material that is packed around the shaft – physically stuffing the gap between the shaft and the pump housing. Gland packing is still commonly used in many applications, however increasingly users are adopting mechanical seals for the following reasons; The friction of the shaft rotating wears away at the packing over time, which leads to increased leakage until the packing is adjusted or re-packed. The friction of the shaft also means that packing also needs to be flushed with large volumes of water in order to keep it cool. Packing needs to press against the shaft in order to reduce leakage – this means that the pump needs more drive power to turn the shaft, wasting energy. Because packing needs to contact the shaft it will eventually wear a groove into it, which can be costly to repair or replace. See more info at wiper seals.
Mechanical seals are engineered for most pumps, mixer and agitator applications in maintenance. In many cases the designs have been proven to be workhorses over years of use. In others seals must be designed for evolving industrial demands. The basic rotating face mechanical seal design is adaptable to serve a wide range of sealing applications including compressors. Standard mechanical seals can suit most requirements to temperatures of 500 degrees F and shaft speeds to 3600 RPM. The selection of secondary seal type often determines the temperature and chemical capabilities of the seal. The combination of materials used in the rotating and stationary faces define the abrasive resistance, and chemical resistance. Seal face combinations will also determine the amount of energy consumed by the pump, mixer, agitator or compressor. Seal faces can be balanced to permit higher pressure sealing. Balanced seals can seal pressures above 200 psi, or used in a multiple stages for higher pressures or especially severe fluid services. Special mechanical seals can be furnished to meet the most demanding of industrial applications considering pressure, temperature, speed or fluid.
Construction machinery sealing system requirements: High and low temperature resistance Because of continuous work for a long time, if it is outdoors in summer, the hydraulic oil temperature of the machine may exceed 100°C, which requires the seal to be resistant to high temperature. If it is outdoors in winter, the temperature may be around -40°C when it is just turned on, and the seals are required to be resistant to low temperatures. Therefore, the sealing system is required to withstand a wide temperature range. The machine itself walks. Due to the limitation of volume and weight, the hydraulic oil tank is generally relatively small.
It can be used as a guide ring for the piston rod to support and guide the piston rod. It has excellent vibration damping performance and is simple and safe to install. It is made of metal and plastic materials. It can prevent work stagnation and violent vibration. The embossed structure facilitates the formation of lubricating micro-pits and improves lubrication. At the same time, the seal prevents the intrusion of tiny foreign objects and protects the sealing system.
Sealing performance over conventional O-rings is achieved by reducing particle generation, extending seal life and minimizing replacement time during preventive maintenance. Compared to traditional O-rings, this seal effectively reduces the number of dust particles generated during operation and extends the life of the machine with bonded seals installed. The seal has a working diameter range of 6.5 to 60.58mm.
Our piston seals are designed to provide excellent leak control. We guarantee that it can perfectly meet the user’s requirements for low friction, compactness, precise configuration and simple installation. It is designed for fluid power applications. It is made of compound materials with high performance, which guarantees excellent wear resistance and excellent extrusion resistance for the seal. It is designed to be suitable for almost all fluid media and is highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It has excellent dynamic and static sealing performance and can even work under dusty industrial environments. Moreover, it has strong adaptability to various working conditions and can adapt to a fast, high-pressure working environment. At the same time, it has unparalleled performance in extreme temperature environments.
Influence of flange form: Different flange forms require different gaskets. Smooth-faced flanges are generally only used for low pressure, with soft thin gaskets; under high pressure, if the strength of the flange is sufficient, smooth-faced flanges can also be used, but thick soft gaskets should be used, or inner belt reinforcement should be used. Wound gasket for ring or reinforcement ring. In this case, metal gaskets are also not suitable, because the required pressing force is too large, resulting in large deformation of the bolts, making the flange difficult to seal. If a metal gasket is to be used, the smooth surface should be reduced to reduce the contact area with the gasket. In this way, under the condition of the same bolt tension, the compressive stress of the reduced narrow smooth surface will increase.
We own a number of invention patents and leading production process. The R&D teams have the ability to design and develop seals for various of complicated working condition of sealing system. We have already passed the certification of ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. We have the mature technical reserve for the solution of ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, ultra-low temperature, highly corrosive and other special working condition.
