Hydraulic seal manufacturer and supplier right now in 2024: Basics of fluid pump sealing – A mechanical seal is simply a method of containing fluid within a vessel (typically pumps, mixers, etc.) where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing or occasionally, where the housing rotates around the shaft. When sealing a centrifugal pump, the challenge is to allow a rotating shaft to enter the ‘wet’ area of the pump, without allowing large volumes of pressurized fluid to escape. To address this challenge there needs to be a seal between the shaft and the pump housing that can contain the pressure of the process being pumped and withstand the friction caused by the shaft rotating. The gap between the faces on a typical seal is as little as 1 micron – 75 times narrower than a human hair. Because the gap is so tiny, particles that would otherwise damage the seal faces are unable to enter, and the amount of liquid that leaks through this space is so small that it appears as vapor – around ½ a teaspoon a day on a typical application.

Every other leak path within the mechanical seal is blocked with the use off a gasket, o-ring, wedge (Rubber, PTFE or Flexible Graphite). The other key aspect of a mechanical pump seal is how to maintain the seal. Springs (single or multiple), a metal bellows or just compressed elastomers are used to provide the needed energy to keep pressing the seal faces together. The load the seal faces receive are engineered into the design of the seal. The choice of what is the best depends on the temperature, and nature of what is being sealed (viscosity, abrasiveness, weight (is it a slurry?)). Cartridge Seals are pre-assembled package of mechanical seal components making installation much easier with fewer points for potential mechanical pump seal installation errors to occur. Mechanical seals occasionally require a seal pot to provide a buffer fluid for your double cartridge seals. Seal pots can not only provide a lubricating buffer, but they can also heat or cool the barrier fluid they contain.
However, hydraulic transmission also has disadvantages compared with mechanical transmission: It is easy to leak and not friendly to the environment. High manufacturing precision is required. Low efficiency. The transmission ratio is not fixed. Due to the special working environment of construction machinery, its hydraulic system has the following characteristics: The working hours are irregular, and sometimes work continuously for a long time. The working environment is outdoors, the working temperature difference is large, and the working environment is dusty. The machine itself walks. Due to the limitation of volume and weight, the hydraulic oil tank is generally relatively small. Due to the volume and weight, the working pressure of the hydraulic system is high, usually above 20MPa, and the highest is about 40Mpa.
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.
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.
The rod seals can be operated with or without lubrication. We guarantee strong dimensional stability and a low coefficient of friction. Changes in temperature do not affect its performance. It is easy to install and can be used with piston rods with the larger diameter and heavy-duty hydraulic rod sealing systems to provide a tight and excellent seal. DMS Seals with 12+ years of experience for manufacturing rod seals, we are confident to provide top quality & satisfying product. There are hydraulic rod seals, piston rod seals, etc for selection, welcome to contact us for further details.
Leakage of gaskets: There are four types of leakage phenomenon in general gaskets: interface leakage, penetration leakage, diffusion leakage, and damage leakage. Interface leaks: The interface will leak at the sealing interface due to insufficient gasket compression, improper flange joint surface finish, and flange deformation. For interface leakage, it can be prevented by using soft gasket to clamp in the flange face. Penetration leakage: Since most of the soft materials are made of fibers, they are easily soaked by the medium, especially the pressure. Due to capillary phenomenon, the medium will permeate to the low pressure side, forming permeation.
Supplied in rolls or open loops. The open ring can be directly installed and used, but it must be cut when the roll is used, and the cutting length must be calculated in advance: there can only be one opening, the opening form is an oblique 45° opening, and the opening distance is about 3-15mm, or the diameter of the guide ring 3-5% of . Under normal circumstances, the openings are oblique openings. Straight openings or zigzag openings are rare and have specific uses and purposes. There are two purposes for the opening. The first is to facilitate installation. If it is not opened, it is an integral ring, which is difficult to install or impossible to install, so it must be opened. Secondly, the opening and a certain opening distance are reserved to facilitate the automatic coordination of volume changes. Otherwise, the movement may be stuck or the moving parts may be pulled due to the excessive expansion of the guide belt under certain conditions. Coiled ones are relatively cheap, and the same coil can be used to make guide rings of different sizes. Discover more details on https://www.dmsseals.com/.
