Compression of the packing forces the packing … Also known as oil seals, use these to retain oil on rotating shafts in motors, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes. Kalsi-brand high-performance rotary shaft seals are manufactured in a variety of designs and materials that are directed at specific application constraints and operating conditions. They perform two essential functions. A plain seal is, therefore, unsuitable as at low eccentricity it would not be able to sustain the load of the seal body. They maintain very good sealing capacity at static, medium and high speeds of shaft rotation, with the increased seal lifetime, and minimum torque and static friction. Shaft surface should be smooth to 0.25- 0.5µm. If the machine is a simple electric motor, for example, the seal may be used just to retain the lubricant in the bearings and to prevent dust and dirt from entering the bearing. The operating eccentricities of the hydrodynamic seal are essentially very low in order to maintain an uninterrupted oil film all around the shaft. Compared with gland packings, they require less space and no maintenance. A further object of the invention is to provide a shaft seal which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture. This seal design therefore utilizes both the contact and hydrodynamic methods for effecting a seal. The described internal cooling of the static seal ring 3 by means of the stopping medium stream makes possible, with a thermostatic stopping medium quantity control 17, a stable temperature regulation in the seal area. • This presentation is made by • Mohamed El-keik on 17/10/2016 • Email: mohamedelkeik@gmail.com • Pardon me if there are any wrong information . Hydrodynamic Pressure Profile This pressure profile, combined with the increased pressure gradient, lifts the seal lip away from the shaft, creating a film of fluid. Use these innovative rotating shaft seals when higher speeds and pressures are anticipated. The medium is kept away from the shaft gland. rotary shaft shaft seal skew seal hydrodynamic rotary Prior art date 1995-06-27 Legal status (The legal status is an assumption and is not a legal conclusion. FIG. The seal between the stationary member (1) and stuffing box face, i.e. 8. Application / Media: Air / Pneumatic, Hydraulic Fluid The length of the sealing plane is determined by the number of packing rings used. 2 is a pressure load diagram relating to FIG. The seal according to the invention has an intensive internal cooling, which permits using it also in speed ranges at which turbocompressors and other high-speed machines are operated. Single-Lip V-Spring-loaded rotary shaft seal for extreme environments. Classic hydrodynamic behavior is illustrated in Figure 1. Click on the video below to see a slow-motion animation of this pumping action. Contact seals can be either circumferential seals, with a circumferential contact area between the internal diameter of the sealing ring and the shaft surface, or face seals with contact between the radial seal faces. Radial shaft seals are used between rotating and stationary machine components or between two components in relative motion and consist of two main parts:A cylindrical outer covering of sheet steel (case) or an elastomer that has the requisite interference fit to seal statically against the housing bore. Referring to the drawing in particular the invention embodied therein comprises a hydrostatic and/or hydrodynamic seal for a rotating shaft 1 which comprises revolving ring 2 revolving with the shaft 1 and a static ring 3 movable only axially in respect to the shaft 1 and forming a radial seal gap with the revolving ring. The operating eccentricities of the hydrodynamic seal are essentially very low in order to maintain an uninterrupted oil film all around the shaft. The taskforce found that focusing on the correct roughness parameter alone will not reduce the incidence of seal leakage. hydrodynamic action caused by the rotating shaft, which creates a slight pumping action. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the shaft seal with adjustment means; FIG. State of Kansas Board of Technical Professions Engineering Certificate No. A mechanical seal has 4 main sealing points: I. A hydrostatic or hydrodynamic shaft seal comprises a ring revolving with the shaft and an axially movable static ring which is sealed against the housing by two O-rings and forms, with the revolving ring, radial seal gaps. The frictional heat created between two surfaces at this speed is enough to damage the shaft, let alone an elastomer material. A seal for sealing between a rotating shaft and a housing comprising a seal ring formed by a plurality of circumferentially spaced segments mounted for movement toward and away from the shaft and having a high pressure side, a low pressure side, an inner circumferential face opposed to the shaft and an outer circumferential face. © 2004-2021 FreePatentsOnline.com. An incompressible fluid flows and stabilizes the seal gaps and the static seal ring has a cavity for receiving the stopping or cooling liquid. Our rotary seals and radial lip seals are designed to seal fluids, gases, oil, grease, oil mist, vacuum or other media on rotating equipment, including rotating or oscillating shafts, rods, tubes or bores. Patent application PL, no P-423513, Centrifugal seal with magnetic fluid for rotating shaft (in Polish). Hydrodynamic leakage tends to decrease gradually over the long term as running time accumulates, due to minute temperature related changes in lip geometry. The sealing effect is achieved by preloading the sealing lip making its internal diameter slightly smaller than the shaft diameter. Use hydrodynamic design in shaft applications that turn in a singular or dual direction, making them ideal for use in heavy duty applications when extended service life and zero tolerance for leakage are necessary. Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the status listed.) From these pockets the stopping medium flows to both sides through the seal gap outwardly into the process space and inwardly into the atmosphere. Contact us for additional information. Rapid seal wear will also occur if there is no fluid to form a hydrodynamic film, if the fluid pressure is too high thus raising the contact pressure, or if the shaft is poorly finished or of inhomogeneous material such that the surface may become pitted. For example, Ra does not describe the surface profile, because it is an averaging technique for the micro-surface deviations above and below a mean line in a given assessment length. The static seal ring 3 of the shaft seal according to FIG. This seal is for high PV applications characterized by high pressure and low speed. The primary function is to retain the bearing or system lubricant in the system to avoid leakage. The samll quantities of stopping medium of known hydrostatic and hydrodynamic seals are, however, unable to remove the friction heat created in the gap during operation. Since the shaft rotates, preventing this leakage can … A spring secures the lip against the shaft, preventing messy leaks. The stopping medium is supplied via a bore 12 into a contiguous distributor groove 11 and reaches a cavity 14 of the static seal ring 3 via a number of bores 13 distributed over the circumference. Because of the lubrication provided by the hydrodynamic waves, this elevated contact pressure zone remains lubricated. A housing 4 supports the shaft for rotation and a pair of axially spaced O-rings 5,5 seal the static ring with the housing and permit its axial mobility. The invention relates particularly to a hydrostatic or hydrodynamic shaft seal, including a ring revolving with the shaft and an axially movable static ring which is sealed from the housing by two O-rings, and forms, with the revolving ring, radial seal gaps through which an incompressible fluid flows and stabilizes the seal gap. 1 comprises two parts welded together. 1; FIG. & Terms of Use.

Not only do we do seals for rotating shafts, we supply a large range of hydraulic seals & ‘O’ Rings for all applications. If the surface is too smooth the seal will overheat; this is because the lip rides on a thin film of lubricant. The requisite radial contact pres-sure is assured by selecting the suitable PTFE compound and sealing lip geometry as well as a special manufacturing process. 5 is a pressure load diagram relating to FIG. Surface Finish If the shaft surface finish is too rough, it will prematurely abrade the lip. Gasket (2). Rotary shaft seals work by squeezing and maintaining lubricant in a slim layer between the lip and the shaft. The Rotary Shaft Seal is used for excluding dirt, dust, water or other particles, while retaining lubricant in rotary shaft equipment. Compression packing must be mechanically loaded in the axial direction that is opposed to the pressure within the equipment. The two pressure system makes the seal unique because typical mechanical seals have one pressure zone that created causes a buildup of … A rigid member has a peripheral portion engaging the stationary member and has a frustoconical portion with a disc-engaging surface on one side, facing the shaft. The stopping medium stream is not influenced, as in this design there are no throttle elements 8 and pockets 9. A hydrostatic seal is a non-contacting mechanical seal that operates under an equilibrium of forces. This is known as the primary seal. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the shaft seal with hydraulic load; and. While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles. The hydrodynamic shaft seal (not shown) involves merely an internal cooling. Hydrodynamic Analysis of the Flow in a Rotary Lip Seal Using Flow Factors Richard F. Salant, ... Rotary Shaft Seals: ... 597 – 616. Although the hydrodynamic waves vary in shape and aggressiveness from one Kalsi Seal design to another, they all provide the same core benefit: interfacial lubrication. The opening force of the pressure limiting valve, once adjusted, not only establishes the pressure pE before the throttle point, but as a reaction force on the pressure buildup in the seal gap it also determines the pocket pressure pT which must be higher than the process pressure pV (see FIG. This rotation-induced hydrodynamic pumping action forces the film through the interface and produces a slow hydrodynamic pumping related loss of lubricant to the environment. This phenomenon is known as the hydrodynamic effect, and is the method by which the lip material avoids … When the rotation stops, the pumping action ceases. © 2021 Kalsi Engineering, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Ann H. Rocke, Mem. This edge configuration is for excluding environmental abrasives from the dynamic sealing interface. Although they range from direct compression seals to lip seals and packing, one feature that is common to all our rotary shaft seal designs is a repetitive pattern of hydrodynamic features, known as waves, that respond to shaft rotation by pumping a thin film of lubricant into the dynamic sealing interface between the seal and the shaft, causing the seal to hydroplane on the film. The high performance of Kalsi-brand rotary seals is based on hydrodynamic interfacial lubrication. Hydrodynamic means in the form of one or more plurality of spaced recesses in the inner circumferential face of each segment are formed so as to produce negative hydrodynamic lift in the recess and urge the seal ring segments toward the rotating shaft during normal rotation thereof. The elastomeric radial lip seal has been used throughout industry for many years to retain lubricants and exclude contaminants in rotating shaft applications. A rotating-disc bidirectional hydrodynamic oil seal, for use between a shaft and a bore, one of which is stationary while the other rotates. FIG. 27. Kalsi washpipe packing has hydrodynamic waves that reduce packing friction and heat by lubricating the dynamic sealing interface. Horve, L. A., 1992, “Understanding the Sealing Mechanism of the Radial Lip Seal for Rotating Shafts,” Proc. are ideally suited for sealing rotating shafts. The second function of the seal is to exclude outboard material that can contaminate the system lubricant or directly damage the bearing. This type of packing is typically used in a rotating seal housing but is also compatible with rotating washpipe assemblies. The interfacial lubrication provided by the hydrodynamic waves of a Kalsi Seal allows the use of a relatively wide dynamic lip and corresponding interface and allows the use of higher modulus extrusion resistant seal materials. Accordingly it is an object of the invention to provide an improved seal for a rotating shaft which includes a revolving ring revolving with the shaft and a static ring which is movable only axially in respect to the shaft and forms radial seal gaps with the revolving ring and which includes a pair of axially spaced O-rings sealing the static ring with the housing and permitting its axial mobility, the static ring with the revolving ring form radial gaps for the flow of an incompressible fluid therethrough having a flowthrough valve passage into which a valve ring member extends so as to control the pressure on the fluid which flows through the cavity of the static ring and for this purpose the valve ring is biased by spring. • as I am a chemical engineer, and Seals are not my specialty and I had no work experience at the time it was made :D . A hydrodynamic seals uses a dynamic rotor with grooves that act as a pump and create an air film that the opposing sealing surface will ride on. We ensure the consistency and quality of our seals through extensive inspection and testing. This radial shaft seal ring is based on know-how gained from years of experience. Rotary shaft seals provide sealing and wiping functionality for rotating and swiveling movements under low pressure and high velocity. Most polymeric rotary seals use a relatively narrow dynamic sealing interface and low interfacial contact pressure to minimize seal generated heat. Rotary shaft seals provide sealing and wiping functionality for rotating and swiveling movements under low pressure and high velocity. 2). The type of contamination the seal will need to exclude is dependent on the application. FIG. All rights reserved.

Ideal design applications Use hydrodynamic design in shaft applications that turn in a singular or dual direction, making them ideal for use in heavy duty applications when extended service life and zero tolerance for leakage are necessary. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a shaft seal constructed in accordance with the invention; FIG. When an adjusted maximum stopping medium inlet pressure is reached which corresponds to the pressure before the throttle element 8, a valve or valve ring 10 opens. Unlike traditional hydrodynamic seals, Hydrostatic seals have two different pressure zones that are used to establish a balanced pressure zone between two seal faces. sealing system for rotating shafts ( mechanical seals and packing ) 1. Simmerrings ® seal rotating shafts reliably and are used in millions of applications and a variety of equipment in general industry and the automotive sector. The primary function is to retain the bearing or system lubricant in the system to avoid leakage. The centrifugal magnetic fluid seals have important advantage over the conventional centrifugal seals. But thereby the usability of these known seal types is limited to low circumferential speeds in the seal area. The seal between the rotating member and shaft or shaft sleeve (4). This video explains how lubricant-side waves force a thin film of lubricant into the sealing interface during shaft rotation. These shaft seal designs are also called axial or hydrodynamic mechanical seals. The major factors affecting the sealing performance of hydrodynamic or viscous screw seals when one of its mem-bers is a radial lip seal. Centrifuge force will have evident influence on magnetic fluid rotating shaft seals. Vanseal’s hydrodynamic seal designs increased seal life five times over. Rotary shaft seals provide sealing and wiping functionality for rotating and swiveling movements under low pressure and high velocity. A rigid member has a peripheral portion engaging the stationary member and has a frustoconical portion with a disc-engaging surface on one side, facing the shaft. The garter spring ensures constant force to the shaft, flattening the sealing edge … using O-rings and quad-rings sealing rotating shafts. In the case of compression packing, sealing is achieved in a cylindrical plane parallel to the shaft. • as I am a chemical engineer, and Seals are not my specialty and I had no work experience at the time it was made :D . A plain seal is, therefore, unsuitable as at low eccentricity it would not be able to sustain the load of the seal body. These seals have a metal case that creates a tight seal when mating with smooth surfaces. The seal between the rotating (3) and stationary faces (1). Known mechanical seal (see ed. The invention solves this problem in the manner as stated in the characteristics of the patent claims. They perform two essential functions. 26. Hydrodynamic aids are beneficial for use in engine crankshaft seals, axle input pinion seals, transfer case input and output seals, and PTO seals. Such seals include a ring revolving with the shaft and a static seal ring which is pressed against the end face of the revolving ring and with it forms the seal gap. The dynamic sealing lip is provided for establishing compressed sealing engagement with a relatively rotatable surface, and for wedging a film of lubricating fluid into the interface between the dynamic sealing lip and the relatively rotatable surface in response to relative rotation that may occur in the clockwise or the counter-clockwise direction. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated. • This presentation is made by • Mohamed El-keik on 17/10/2016 • Email: mohamedelkeik@gmail.com • Pardon me if there are any wrong information . Shaft sealing represents a unique branch of the science of tribology. The material discussed in this paper includes the following : 1 . absence of rotation, the hydrodynamic leakage does not occur. Included under the range of oil seals is the world famous shaft repair tool – CR/SKF Speedi-Sleeve, a quick and easy fix to shafts that have a slight score mark on them giving the seal a new machined surface to run on and seal once again. The rotary seal’s outside surface is fixed to the housing, while the seal’s inner lip presses against the rotating shaft. Its role is to prevent . rotating shaft seals is critical when trying to reduce the mean time between failure of rotating equipment. If ex-tremely rough, the lip will not be able to conform to the surface and leak imme-diately. Hydrodynamic Effect Ever wonder how a radial lip seal can stop a reservoir of oil from leaking around a shaft rotating at 2000 rpm? This video explains how lubricant-side waves force a thin film of lubricant into the sealing interface during shaft rotation. The risk of inappropriate operation is therefore very low. Due to the automatic stabilization of the seal gap, minimal gaps and hence minimal stopping medium throughputs can be achieved, which, in most known seal designs, are very difficult to realize, for manufacturing and physical reasons, without getting to the limits of operational safety. On any machine that has a rotating shaft there will be a shaft seal of one type or another. (Figure 1) Due to the wide hydrodynamically lubricated dynamic lip, Kalsi Seals® can handle higher pressure and speed combinations than other polymeric rotary seals. 5). The generated film thickness is less than the clearance of a clearance seal … The liquid being sealed becomes the lubricant for the seal. II. Spring-Loaded Rotary Shaft Seals. M.A.N. Fluid film seals rely on hydrostatic and hydrodynamic devices to generate and maintain a gas film between the rotating and stationary surfaces of the seal. Here a partial hydraulic relief of the pressure limiting valve is obtained by an annular piston 15, so that adaptation of the throttle admission pressure to optimum values becomes possible (see FIG. 2. 1 and 3 can be used in the low-pressure range to about 5 bars, since at higher pressures for maintaining the equilibrium of forces FV =FS the pressure pE before the throttle becomes so high that the stopping medium throughput through the seal gap increase impermissibly. The wide lip also provides extra sacrificial material to accommodate axially acting wear mechanisms, such as extrusion damage and third body wear. A spring secures the lip against the shaft, preventing messy leaks. It was developed as a means of protecting bearings of rotating shafts. To cover a wide range of application requirements, standard ranges have been developed. 3. ASME. It requires no maintenance of any sort and is particularly suitable for continuous operation. It is the object of the invention to substantially increase the safe speed range in a hydrostatic or hydrodynamic shaft seal. The secondary function of a rotary shaft seal is to preclude any contamination of the system by external particles or other environmental impacts. Except for slight increases of the friction and throttle losses, further increase of the stopping medium throughput has little effect on the admission pressure of the throttle point. This seal is designed to provide long service life and low friction for extreme service applications over a wide temperature range. III. The dynamic lip of a Kalsi Seal has an abrupt circular exclusion edge that faces the environment. The requirements for leak tightness to the shaft sealing on vacuum Our rotary seals and radial lip seals are designed to seal fluids, gases, oil, grease, oil mist, vacuum or other media on rotating equipment, including rotating or oscillating shafts, rods, tubes or bores. In the case of compression packing, sealing is achieved in a cylindrical plane parallel to the shaft. A rotary seal, also known as a radial shaft seal, typically sits between a rotary shaft and a fixed housing — such as a cylinder wall — to stop fluid leaking along the shaft. Rotary shaft seals provide protection through two crucial functions. Years ago, most pump shafts were sealed using rings of soft packing, compressed by a packing gland, but this type of shaft seal required a fair amount of leakage just to lubricate the packing and keep it cool. In hydrodynamic seals, sometimes referred to as "visco" or "windback" or "positive action" seals, the shaft acts like a pump, as shown in the animation. Face seals are mechanical devices used to seal rotating shafts in numerous applications. The pumping action provides continuous lubrication for the contact width of the elastomer lip. When certain parameters are pushed to extremes such as shaft speed, lead and viscosity the pumping mechanism needs some support. Wider dynamic lips are more resistant to damage Resilient means urge the seal ring toward the shaft. Spring means including a spring 7 which may be adjustable bears against a valve ring member 10 which seats at an end of the static ring and limits the pressure of the fluid. This construction allows the seals to exploit the favorable extrusion resistance characteristics of the higher modulus material without a corresponding dramatic increase in interfacial contact pressure. The static ring 3 with the revolving ring 2 forms radial gaps with the flow of an incompressible fluid therethrough which also flows through a cavity 14 of the static ring 3. 25. generation, Seal for the gap between a revolving shaft and the bore of a housing against a mixture of a liquid and a gas, Centrifugal pump with double mechanical seal, <- Previous Patent (Self-aligning lubric...). 2 shows that the design according to FIGS. The primary function is to retain the bearing or system lubricant in the system to avoid leakage. Rapid seal wear will also occur if there is no fluid to form a hydrodynamic film, if the fluid pressure is too high thus raising the contact pressure, or if the shaft is poorly finished or of inhomogeneous material such that the surface may become pitted. For higher pressure ranges, a design as shown in FIG. Deep grooved face seal Circumferential and radial grooves Hydrostatic pressure fed seal Hydrostatic taper seal gas Fig S Radial face seals 209 Floyd - gas seals for rotating shafts Fig 6 Hydrodynamic face seal PA P5 gas Pgas PA Thick liquid film face seals can be used for sealing gases by placing the seals in tandem with a pressurized barrier liquid between them. We offer rotary seals specially designed for applications, including: High- and medium-pressure sealing; Low friction and low energy consumption At very slow speeds, boundary lubrication occurs, and seal running torque1 is relatively high due to asperity contact between the seal and the shaft. shaft comes to rest. 1 is an axial quarter section view in elevation of a seal, constructed in accordance with this invention, showing the relative position of the various parts, when the shaft is rotating. Let us show you what high quality and high-performance means. To generate a required pressure pT in the pockets 9, which, to maintain the blocking medium stream in the seal gap, must be higher than the highest counter-pressure to both sides of the seal ara, a tensioning force is applied via spring elements 7 distributed over the circumference, which elements take support on a ring 10 which also serves as a pressure-limiting valve. & Terms of Use.

Salant, Fellow ASME, Richard F. Salant, Fellow ASME George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0405. Such shaft seals for compressors and other machines must seal the process spaces in the zone of the shaft passage through the housing from the atmosphere and insure that only very little stopping medium gets into the process space. In most applications, the seal’s main function is to retain the bearing or system lubricant. Google Scholar. … This lubrication reduces friction, adhesive wear, and seal-generated heat, compared to non-hydrodynamic seals, and reduces heat-related loss of seal material strength, and other heat-related material degradation. FIG. To better understand how rotary lip seal sw ork, kn ledge f basic component is needed. Press-fit seals into the bore around the shaft. 4 is suitable. A number of tensioning spring elements are arranged on the circumference or end of the static ring which take support against a ring which serves as a pressure limiting valve. Please contact one of our experienced seal engineers to select the best seal for your application. The seal rings must be cooled from the outside if overheating in the gap is to be avoided. When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of the pump between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump casing. Privacy Policy An end-face mechanical seal, or a mechanical end-face seal, also referred to as a mechanical face seal but usually simply as a mechanical seal, is a type of seal used in rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, blowers, and compressors. The Hydrodynamic Effect and the Dynamic Sealing Mechanism discussed earlier in this chapter provide and explanation of how a radial shaft seal works in application. Two O-rings 5 seal the static seal ring 3 against the housing 4 and ensure its axial mobility. The liquid being sealed becomes the lubricant for the seal.
