Various standard and special materials are available for Dichtomatik radial shaft seals, depending on the model and the area of application. The starting material for elastomers is rubber, which can be obtained as natural rubber, but is mainly produced today as synthetic rubber in the chemical industry. Elastomers are distinguished by the underlying base polymer. The final material is produced by mixing the base polymer with appropriate fillers, plasticizers, processing aids, vulcanizing agents, accelerators and other additives. This process makes it possible to achieve the desired material properties...

SPECIAL MATERIALS A wide range of radial shaft seals come available in two varieties of elastomer and two types of PTFE materials: In addition to the standard materials described, various special materials are also available for special applications. These include material variants with lower friction properties due to sliding-intensifying fillers such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), as well as optimized materials for better resistance to media and temperature. Additional material variants in other hardnesses and colors are available on request. STANDARD ELASTOMER MATERIALS FOR RADIAL...

SEALING TO THE HOUSING BORE To ensure reliable sealing against a wide variety of media when installed, an overlap (interference fit) of the shaft seal ring to the housing bore must be guaranteed under all operating conditions. Both the manufacturing tolerances of the housing bore and its expansion, e.g. due to the rise in temperature during operation, must be taken into account. In addition, care must be taken that the roughness of the housing bore is not too great to avoid "creep" of the medium to be sealed through this rough structure. If the roughness is too low, this can vastly increase the...

DESIGN OF THE OUTER SURFACES – INFLUENCE OF THE DIFFERENT MODELS Radial shaft seals are typically offered with an elastomer outer covering or a metallic outer surface and are also available with an additional protective lip. SMOOTH, ELASTOMER-COATED OUTER SURFACE: MODELS WA, WAS Advantages: very • good static sealing can • be used for split housings, with possible edge breakage and/or butt offset use • with light metal housings with high thermal expan- sion or with all housings that have a greater coefficient of expansion than steel use • with low-viscosity or gaseous media use • in pressure...

DYNAMIC SEALING MECHANISM SEALING EFFECT WITH A ROTATING SHAFT PARTLY ELASTOMER-COATED OUTER SURFACE: MODEL WAB The so-called “half-shoulder design” is a special design that is not covered as standard. It combines the advantages of models WA (rubber-covered outer surface  good sealing effect) and WB (metallic outer surface  a tight fit). Several conditions must be met to ensure that the contact area is lubricated during operation, but that no oil can escape to the outside. The geometry of the sealing lip must meet certain geometric criteria when installed: the • oil angle “b” of the sealing...
