Premium hydraulic seals provider: Mechanical seals form a critical part of any mechanical operation involving fluid movement through rotational shafts, such as in the case of pumps. These seals ensure that the fluid does not leak out of a closed system and contaminants do not enter the system. In pumping applications, mechanical seals are placed at the point of entry or exit of a rotating shaft, preventing the pressurized fluid from escaping the pump housing and withstanding the friction generated from the shaft rotations. Read on to learn how mechanical seals work and explore some popular use cases of seals in pump applications. Read more details on o ring suppliers.
The Primary Seal – While two of the sealing points in a seal design are simple static seals, the seal between the rotating and stationary members needs a little more consideration. This primary seal is the basis of all seal design and is essential to its effectiveness. The primary seal is essentially a spring loaded vertical bearing – consisting of two extremely flat faces, one fixed, one rotating, running against each other. The seal faces are pushed together using a combination of hydraulic force from the sealed fluid and spring force from the seal design. In this way a seal is formed to prevent process leaking between the rotating (shaft) and stationary areas of the pump. The surfaces of the seal faces are super-lapped to a high degree of flatness; typically 2-3 Helium light-bands (0.00003” / 0.0008mm). If the seal faces rotated against each other without some form of lubrication they would wear and quickly fail due to face friction and heat generation. For this reason some form of lubrication is required between the rotary and stationary seal face; this is known as the fluid film.
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.
DMS Seals piston seals can be used very effectively in the clearance between the two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder and cylinder. The piston seal is pushed by the pressure of the fluid. Its good working performance can improve the efficiency of the machine. Due to its excellent resistance to leakage, it helps the machine to extend the machine’s working life. Our seals provide the best tight adhesion for the sealing system with low internal leakage and frictional resistance.
Gasket sealing mechanism: The function of the gasket is caused by the blocking effect on the internal medium formed by the contact pressure of the sealing material on the joint surface and the elastic restoring force to the external tightening force. Classification and structure of gaskets: Gaskets are divided into three categories: non-metallic gaskets, non-metallic and metal combined gaskets and metal gaskets. The common materials are rubber, leather, asbestos board, cork, PTFE, tinplate, steel, aluminum, copper and stainless steel.
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. Find additional info on dmsseals.com.

Because the system pressure is high, the temperature is high, and the wear is particularly serious, the seal is required to have good wear resistance. Low coefficient of friction: For construction machinery such as excavators and pump trucks, the hydraulic system pressure is high, the cylinder action speed is fast, and the wear of the seal is particularly serious. Therefore, the friction coefficient of the seal must be low, so that the seal has good wear resistance and suitable life.
The O-ring seal, which is also called shaft seal, is noted for a reasonable compression and stretch rate to achieve a good sealing effect. It will not leak when it is sealed statically. At the same time, the O-ring size is properly matched to the groove size. The structure is simple and its installation is very close to the machine. Its most prominent advantage is its self-sealing effect, eliminating the need for periodic adjustments. We guarantee that the size and mounting grooves of all our O-rings are standardized, so they are cost-effective and easy to maintain. They have low frictional resistance and are suitable for occasions where the pressure is often alternating.
