Whether its a labyrinth seal used in a compressor or a spring-energized seal used in a cryogenic application, seal performance is critical. Premature failure of seals is simply not acceptable, but there are ways to prevent these problems. In this blog post, we are going to discuss material selection, wear sleeves, lubrication, and optimized seal design as options for improving the performance of your seals.
5 Applications for PEEK in the Medical Device Industry
There are millions of medical devices that include components made from PEEK. This usage has grown tremendously in the past fifteen years and is still evolving. In this post, we are going to look at typical applications for PEEK in the medical device industry, including both implantable devices and non-implantable devices.
Applications for PEEK in Oil & Gas
The oil and gas industry involves some of the harshest, most aggressive environments. It takes special materials to provide the performance and reliability that is demanded. PEEK is one of the materials that rises to the occasion, so in this blog post we are going to look at some of the many applications there are for PEEK in the world of oil and gas.
4 Processing Methods for PEEK
PEEK has long been a highly regarded engineering polymer for an almost infinite variety of applications. One of the reasons it remains popular is its processability: PEEK is well adapted to a number of polymer processing techniques. In this post, we are going to discuss four processing methods for manufacturing components from PEEK.
PEEK is the Go-To Material for Oil & Gas: 6 Reasons Why
As you probably already know, PEEK is a high-performance engineering polymer that is often used for seals and bearings in some of the most aggressive, harsh service environments you can imagine. Such properties make it perfect for use in the petrochemical industry. In fact, there are six specific reasons why PEEK has become a go-to material for oil and gas applications.
Canted Coil Springs for EFI/RFI Shielding Applications
Canted coil springs (also known as slant coil springs) are known for their ability to latch, hold, and lock, but that isnt all they have to offer. Canted coil springs can be used to shield electronics from harmful EMI and RFI interferences. In this blog post, well talk about why canted coil springs work so well for such applications, what additional features they offer, and typical applications.
FEA Part III: Generating the Mesh
Another key aspect of developing a finite element model of a seal is the generating the mesh.
When to Use PEEK, PTFE or Nylon Backup Rings
Backup rings, also known as anti-extrusion rings of BURs, do exactly what their name implies: they act as back up support to sealing assemblies.
Cryogenic Seals for Loading Arms
More and more industries are using cryogenically cooled liquids and gases, which is increasing the demand for transfer systems that can handle those kinds of temperatures.
Finite Element Analysis of Seals, Part 2: Creating the Model
One of the first hurdles to overcome in developing an accurate finite element representation of a real world problem, including rotary shaft seals, is developing the model of the components whose behavior and interaction you want to investigate.
