Because of the rapidly improving technology of computers, more and more can be done using finite element analysis methods — including the modeling of rotary shaft seals.
Factors Influencing Rotary Shaft Seal Performance: Pressure, Velocity, and Temperature
There are various factors that have a significant impact on the performance and behavior of a rotary shaft seal, including operating conditions (speed, pressure, temperature, environment), the mating shaft (hardness, surface finish, lead), and the choice of material for the seal itself.
In this blog post, we are going to review the operating conditions that must be considered for a successful rotary shaft seal.
