Under the action of the skeleton oil seal, the rigidity of the oil film just makes the oil film and the air contact end form a crescent surface, which prevents the leakage of the working medium and realizes the sealing of the rotating shaft. The sealing ability of the oil seal depends on the thickness of the oil film on the sealing surface. If the thickness is too large, the oil seal will leak; if the thickness is too small, dry friction may occur, causing the oil seal and shaft to wear; if there is no oil film between the sealing lip and the shaft, it is easy to cause heat and wear. . Therefore, when installing, it is necessary to apply some oil on the sealing ring, and at the same time ensure that the skeleton oil seal is perpendicular to the axis line. If it is not perpendicular, the sealing lip of the oil seal will drain the lubricating oil from the shaft, which will also lead to excessive sealing of the lip. wear. During operation, the lubricant in the casing seeps out a little, so that it is ideal to form an oil film on the sealing surface.
3. Industrial machinery NBR oil seals are used in pumps, compressors, hydraulic systems, and gearboxes.
The rubber material used in the oil seal should be selected based on the operational temperature and substance to be sealed.
Table 5 lists the major rubber materials along with their operational temperature ranges.
Note that it is necessary to check the compatibility with fluids.
<N.B.>
Extreme pressure additives are compounds added to the lubricant. They are activated by heat and chemically react against rubber, which deteriorates rubber properties. For this reason, it is necessary to check for compatibility with rubber materials.
If this is not possible, you may be able to fit the lower retaining bolt into the upper mounting support, to hold the engine level. Or the gearbox may have to be jacked up and supported.
This type of oil seal can withstand only low speed and friction. It is recommended in places where thick fluid or grease is to be sealed. This is not recommended for difficult applications.
Square rubber gaskets, a seemingly insignificant component, play an indispensable role in a myriad of industries, from automotive to plumbing, from aerospace to food processing. These small, square-shaped seals are the unsung heroes of engineering, ensuring the integrity of systems and preventing leaks or damage through their resilient and adaptable nature. 3. Chemical Processing Molded gaskets are ideal for use in chemical processing applications due to their resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures.In general, oil seals should be selected in the order of priority indicated in Table 1.
