On the Estimation of the Dynamic Leak-Tightness of Shaft Seals with Hydrodynamic Sealing Aids through a Hydrodynamic Parameter
Lip seals made of PTFE compound are used due to their high thermal and chemical stability for the sealing of shaft interfaces in housings. For a better dynamic leak-tightness hydrodynamic sealing aids are manufactured on the sealing lip. Thus a PTFE lip seal is capable of back-pumping fluid from the...
