Safe use of floating seals

2019-08-21 12:10:49
The floating seal is a compact mechanical seal designed for such a harsh working environment. It can prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and prevent external mud, sand and other pollutants from invading the inside of the equipment structure. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, pollution resistance, wear resistance, vibration resistance, turbulence, swing and impact, reliable work, long service life and convenient maintenance, and has been widely used in various construction machinery and mining machinery.


Our company has 15 years of experience in production, strong scientific and technological strength, and perfect testing means. The quality of the floating oil seal produced is reliable and can fully meet the national standard and European standard production level. But some small problems we must pay attention to, the following explains how to solve the problem of floating oil seal leakage:
1. During the installation of the floating oil seal, due to the error of the O-ring installation, the offset is not installed, so that the pressure on the sealing surface is not the same, resulting in oil leakage.
2. The diameter of the sealing chamber is too small, so that the compression force of the sealing ring is too small, so that the pressure on the pressed surface is too low, so that there is a gap in the sealing surface, thereby causing oil leakage.
3, the seal will work in the gear oil for a long time, the temperature will be very high, more than a Baidu, this will make the rubber easy to age, resulting in no elasticity, which will also damage and cause oil leakage.


How can we improve if we encounter a floating seal?
First of all, we must improve the quality of the installation process so that the O-ring can be installed in place;
Secondly, the proper compression of the O-ring is maximized, so that the force-bearing surface is under normal force;
Finally, the seal should use a product that is resistant to high temperatures and oils.
