Top rated wiper seals manufacturer and supplier: Types of Mechanical Seals – Several types of mechanical seals are available. Some of the popular ones include: Balanced and unbalanced seals; Pusher and non-pusher seals Cartridge seals. A mechanical seal consists of rotary and stationary faces running against each other. These faces apply a closing force against each other using springs and the pressure generated from the process fluid. This way, a seal is formed to prevent the fluid from leaking between the rotating shaft and the pump housing. Mechanical seals can be selected based on the type of pump application. Choosing the wrong seal can affect pump performance and lead to damage and costly repairs. An unbalanced mechanical seal is preferred if the pump needs to operate at a lower pressure. However, high pressure pumping applications require balanced mechanical seals. Balanced seals also perform better in high temperature operating conditions. Cartridge seals require less maintenance but are more expensive, hence used for limited applications. See even more information on rod seals manufacturer.
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.
Rubber seals are a common type of basic component in sealing devices, and play a very important role in the contradiction between leakage and sealing. Using rubber seals is an important way to promote technological advancement and prevent and reduce environmental pollution. They are a class of rubber products that are widely used in sealing technology. Because rubber is a polymer material with valuable elasticity, a wide temperature range. It gives less stress in different media producing large deformation, which can provide contact pressure, compensate for leakage gap, and achieve the purpose of sealing.
Scraper seals are also known as wiper seals. The scraper sealof DMS SEALS can effectively prevent various forms of contamination that cause a hydraulic system failure. It can be mounted on the outside of the piston rod seal of the hydraulic cylinder to protect the hydraulic cylinder from dirt, dust and moisture. It can well protect the hydraulic cylinder from environmental pollution and effectively prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinder parts, causing the system to malfunction. DMS offers a wide range of wiper seals for different hydraulic systems with different characteristics, specifications and combinations.
Leakage of gaskets: There are four types of leakage phenomenon in general gaskets: interface leakage, penetration leakage, diffusion leakage, and damage leakage. Interface leaks: The interface will leak at the sealing interface due to insufficient gasket compression, improper flange joint surface finish, and flange deformation. For interface leakage, it can be prevented by using soft gasket to clamp in the flange face. Penetration leakage: Since most of the soft materials are made of fibers, they are easily soaked by the medium, especially the pressure. Due to capillary phenomenon, the medium will permeate to the low pressure side, forming permeation.

Good sealing performance: Because the system works outdoors, there is no leakage oil recovery system, and the working medium will directly pollute the environment after leakage, so external leakage requirements are strict. At the same time, for the requirements of hydraulic oil heating control, pressure maintaining or maintaining position, the internal leakage requirements are also very strict. High pressure: The working pressure of the hydraulic system is high, usually above 20MPa, and the highest is about 40Mpa, which is higher than the general industrial hydraulic system pressure, so the sealing pressure resistance requirements are high.
It is ideal for single-acting sealing of reciprocating piston rods or pistons with a wide operating pressure range of up to 20 MPa. The operating temperature range is also wide from -200°C to + 250°C. It has a diameters range from 3 mm to 1600 mm and a working speed of 5 m/s. The seal has a low coefficient of friction and the friction between the contact faces is minimal among all seal types. Moreover, the contact pressure between the mating surfaces is low. It can work without lubrication and is very wear resistant. And it has a long service life.
