Hydraulic seal provider today: 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.

Mechanical seals often need to be used in chemical applications. When confronted with some harsh chemicals, mechanical seals containing elastomers made of Viton, Kalrez or Chemrez can’t hold up. Because PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)or as most people know it Teflon ® , has a 0-14 ph range it usually will hold up. Like most materials every choice has an up and a down side. Because PTFE will handle most chemical applications, chemical attack is no longer an issue. One the down side PTFE wedges can cause fretting of your sleeve or shaft if you have not hard surfaced your shaft or sleeve (plasma coating). The stationary element of your seal will require a PTFE gasket. It’s not much good to have a PTFE on the rotary and then use an elastomer on the seat. We have seen it done, and because it is a static application some have gotten away with it, but it is not recommended. Most commonly the seat will be a L-shaped or Clamped mount style to allow space for a PTFE gasket to be used as the secondary sealing element.
Select the appropriate sealing material: There are many types of sealing materials, including many metals, plastics and rubbers. The same material has different performances from different companies. On the other hand, the same seal has different performances in different working conditions or different sealing schemes, so it must be carefully considered when choosing. Note: Be sure to consider seals under the premise of a reasonable sealing scheme, then consider the sealing material, and then consider the seal manufacturer. If you don’t have enough sealing experience, it is best to consider the sealing company first, and let the sealing company consider the sealing scheme and other issues, such as DMS Seals Technology Co.,Limited.
It is ideal for single-acting sealing of reciprocating piston rods or pistons with a wide operating pressure range of up to 20 MPa. The operating temperature range is also wide from -200°C to + 250°C. It has a diameters range from 3 mm to 1600 mm and a working speed of 5 m/s. The seal has a low coefficient of friction and the friction between the contact faces is minimal among all seal types. Moreover, the contact pressure between the mating surfaces is low. It can work without lubrication and is very wear resistant. And it has a long service life.
According to the material, DMS Seals’s products are divided into several categories, and oil seals are one of them. Oil seal has the following advantages: well-chosen materials, reasonable design, stable performance, excellent quality, and affordable price. Such a product is up to the market demand. DMS Seals has been focusing on all kinds of rotary shaft seals, bulk oil seals wholesale, and also can custom oil seals according to customers’ requirements. If you are looking for a professional oil seal manufacturer and reliable oil seal supplier, welcome to contact us.
The rod seal is the most important sealing component designed by DMS SEALS in the liquid sealing application. It can effectively prevent the liquid inside the cylinder from leaking to the outside. Moreover, if there is a leakage problem in the rod seal, the performance of the equipment will be degraded. There are even some machine and human safety issues in extreme cases. This type of seal meets the standards of GB/T 15242.1-94 and GB/T 15242.3-94. It is ideal for high and low-speed reciprocating rods and rods in high-pressure system cylinders. Moreover, it can be used in a variety of fluids and high-temperature environments. It is characterized by its high corrosion resistance and its ability to work well in a corrosive media with no oil spots. It has high stability under pressure and harsh conditions. The outstanding advantages of our seals are strong wear resistance, resistance to extrusion, low friction and no stick-slip.
Diffusion leakage: Driven by the concentration difference, the medium leaks through the material transfer generated by the sealing gap or the capillary of the sealing material. Diffusion is the result of molecular motion and is not unidirectional. When the sealing pressure difference is extremely small or in a vacuum state, or when sealing permeable substances such as nitrogen and hydrogen, as well as highly toxic and radioactive substances, special attention should be paid to the leakage and diffusion.
We own a number of invention patents and leading production process. The R&D teams have the ability to design and develop seals for various of complicated working condition of sealing system. We have already passed the certification of ISO 9001 and IATF 16949.
