Oil seals prevent internal system fluids from leaking and keep external contamination from entering the system. Leakage and/ or contaminants paths occur between the shaft and the seal lip and between the seal and the housing. Oil seals need to seal both dynamically (on the shaft) and statically (on the outer diameter of the seal).
V-ring seals are mounted on shafts and their thin, tapered lip seals against a surface (counterface) at right angles to the shaft. No special demands are placed on the surface finish of the shaft seating and the V-rings act as flingers, since they have an interference fit on the shaft and rotate with it. Misalignment of the shaft with respect to the counterface can be tolerated and V-rings also provide reliable sealing if the shaft is out-of-round or rotates eccentrically.
Hydraulic seals are used in cylinders to seal the openings between various components in the hydraulic cylinder.Seals are either moulded or machined and are carefully designed using sophisticated simulation software.Products perform both dynamic and static sealing. The range includes piston, rod, buffer and wiper seals, as well as guide rings and O-rings. Pneumatic seals are used in pneumatic cylinders and valves and generally are designed for lower operating pressures than hydraulic seals. Pneumatic applications also typically demand higher operating speeds and lower friction seals than hydraulic applications. These seals may be used for rotary and reciprocating motion.
O-Rings offer several advantages over other sealing systems: simplicity of construction, standardized seal dimensions, wide selection of materials, suitability for both static and dynamic applications, standard dimensioning of glands, low cost due to high volume manufacturing.
A mechanical seal is a device that helps join systems or mechanisms together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets.
Circlips are retaining rings containing a semi-flexible metal ring with open ends which can be snapped into place, in a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to allow rotation but to stop lateral movement. Circlips are also called as C-clip, Seeger ring or a snap ring. Standard material for circlips is carbon spring steel with phosphate and oil finish.
