Quality scraper seals factory: What are Mechanical Seals? Mechanical seals are devices that accommodate a rotating shaft while containing and preventing the fluid from leaking out of the enclosed housing. While different mechanical seal designs are available for pumping applications, most have three sealing points. Rotating face that rotates with the shaft; Stationary face fitted to the pump housing; Interface portion between the rotating and stationary face of the seal. These three sealing points ensure that the fluid contained within the pump housing does not leak while also preventing dust particles in the atmosphere from entering the housing. The mechanical seals are usually made up of different materials to prevent sticking. Typically, one side of the seal uses softer materials like carbon graphite, and the other is made of harder materials such as silicon carbide or ceramic alumina. However, hard materials are preferred for both surfaces if the pumping application involves abrasive fluids. In addition to the two materials, the sealing unit also comes with O-rings to seal the stationary face on the housing side and the rotating face on the shaft side. Springs are also used to keep both faces pressed. In most cases, the two faces of the seals are also lubricated to prevent friction and wear. Depending on the application, this fluid film can either be a separate lubricant or the process fluid itself. Find extra information on https://www.dmsseals.com/rod-seals.
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.
DMS SEALS’ s bonded seal is ideal for being applied to threaded pipe fittings and plug sealing in Metric, British and BSP systems. The seal has no special requirements for the positioning and processing techniques of the seal groove, so it is an ideal accessory for fast and automatic installation that we highly recommend. The operating temperature range is -30°C ~ 100°C, and the working pressure is less than 39.2 MPa. It is commonly used in a hydraulic oil medium.
Since the scraper seal is made of the special material, PTFE, it has an impurity immersion function. Therefore, when combined with the piston rod seal and the metal bushing, it can prevent damage to the piston rod and prevent the accumulation of oil pressure. It has a diameter range of 3-1600mm and a temperature range of -30°C + 200°C. The wiper scraper seal can operate at speeds of up to 5 m/s. It has high wear resistance, tear resistance, low-temperature resistance and good strength. Our wiper seals can be used in combination with piston seals and anti-wear rings to prevent oil in the cylinder from being mixed with foreign matter, which causes damage to the working seal. It is especially suitable for piston rods with a large diameter. Moreover, it has a wide range of applications, such as agricultural machinery, injection moulding machines, forklifts, cranes and so on.
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.
The guide belt is a belt-shaped member that guides the moving parts. Its main function is to guide. In order to realize the function of guidance, it must support the guided member, and guide and correct its motion trajectory. In order to realize the guiding function well, it also requires isolation, shock absorption and noise reduction of the guiding parts. Guide belts are mainly used in oil cylinders and cylinders. Due to their excellent performance, they are also widely used in other motion mechanisms. Read even more info on https://www.dmsseals.com/.

We can provide the hydraulic seals with bronze filled PTFE, carbon filled PTFE, graphite filled PTFE, MoS2 filled PTFE, glass filled PTFE, virgin PTFE. About O-Rings, we can supply NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM, HNBR, ACM, FFKM material.
Due to the volume and weight limitations of the system, it is impossible to install an ideal filtration and cooling system. High temperature, high pressure, and high speed cause the hydraulic oil to deteriorate easily, and the mechanical parts are also prone to erosion and stains. There are many stains and impurities in hydraulic oil, but it cannot be thoroughly filtered, which is the aspect of endogenous stains. All kinds of dust in the working environment may be very large, and it will inevitably enter the hydraulic system in multiple ways, causing oil pollution, which is an external stain. Therefore, the sealing system is required to be resistant to stains.
The rotary seal from DMS SEALS is a dynamic sealing component that is installed between the rotating shaft and the stationary parts to seal the lubricating oil and prevent external dust and debris from entering the inside of the device. When selecting the material, we fully consider the working medium, working temperature and the adaptability of the lip when the shaft rotates at high speed. It has a remarkable sealing performance and can maintain a great sealing effect for a long time.
