Quality hydraulic seal manufacturer and supplier: 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.
However, hydraulic transmission also has disadvantages compared with mechanical transmission: It is easy to leak and not friendly to the environment. High manufacturing precision is required. Low efficiency. The transmission ratio is not fixed. Due to the special working environment of construction machinery, its hydraulic system has the following characteristics: The working hours are irregular, and sometimes work continuously for a long time. The working environment is outdoors, the working temperature difference is large, and the working environment is dusty. The machine itself walks. Due to the limitation of volume and weight, the hydraulic oil tank is generally relatively small. Due to the volume and weight, the working pressure of the hydraulic system is high, usually above 20MPa, and the highest is about 40Mpa.
The spring seal produced by DMS SEALS is perfect for being applied to extremely high-speed, very low-speed equipment with micro piston strokes and other special operating conditions. It can be used with rotary seals and maintains good sealing performance in violent shake and vibration motion environments. At the same time, our seals are extremely adaptable to a wide range of working media. It is resistant to a wide range of chemicals except for soluble alkali metals, high-temperature fluorine and chlorine trifluoride. Therefore, it works well with liquids such as oils and water with high and low temperature.
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.
Our piston seals are designed to provide excellent leak control. We guarantee that it can perfectly meet the user’s requirements for low friction, compactness, precise configuration and simple installation. It is designed for fluid power applications. It is made of compound materials with high performance, which guarantees excellent wear resistance and excellent extrusion resistance for the seal. It is designed to be suitable for almost all fluid media and is highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It has excellent dynamic and static sealing performance and can even work under dusty industrial environments. Moreover, it has strong adaptability to various working conditions and can adapt to a fast, high-pressure working environment. At the same time, it has unparalleled performance in extreme temperature environments.
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.
