Theory of lubrication of elastomeric rotary shaft seals

Abstract Current knowledge of the principles of rotary lip seal operation is assessed through a review of the experimental foundation and the key theoretical models. Studies of the existence of the lubricating film, the load support mechanism, the sealing mechanism, the thermal effects and the follo...

Description
Summary:Abstract Current knowledge of the principles of rotary lip seal operation is assessed through a review of the experimental foundation and the key theoretical models. Studies of the existence of the lubricating film, the load support mechanism, the sealing mechanism, the thermal effects and the followability are described.
