JTEKT | JTEKT CORPORATION KOYO SEALING TECHNO CO., LTD.

Preface This catalog lists Koyo oil seals and O-rings, including all items of the dimension series specified in ISO, JIS and JASO (Japanese Automobile Standards Organization) standards. This catalog is also based on knowledge gained from our supply record, experience, expertise, technologies, and research developments that JTEKT and KOYO SEALING TECHNO have acquired in cooperation with customers since its foundation in 1964. A specialty of this new catalog is the comprehensive information, it offers regarding the selection and handling of oil seals and O-rings. Energy-saving, efforts to protect...

Features ■ Koyo Oil Seals: Features 1. Lightweight, compact, and energy-saving Koyo oil seals offer high sealing performance, while being compact with reduced seal width. They help reduction of machine weight, size, and resource consumption 2. High sealing performance by optimum lip design Koyo oil seals employ a linear-contact lip, which provides proper radial lip load. The lip design ensures excellent sealing performance, low torque, proper flexibility and high allowability for eccentricity. 3. Low heat generation and long service life by highly self-lubricating rubber materials Based on extensive...

■ Koyo O-Rings: Features 1. High sealing performance and reliability High sealing performance against water, oil, air, various gases and chemicals. 2. Available in a full lineup of designs and sizes 3. Easy handling ■ Various O-rings 3

Features ■ Koyo Functional Products: Features JTEKT produces various functional products based on advanced sealing technologies and sophisticated manufacturing expertise acquired through extensive research and development. Koyo functional products are very helpful in improving machine performance, reducing weight, size, noise and vibration. Consult JTEKT if there is no product in this catalog that exactly matches your requirements--JTEKT can custom-design products. 1. Functional products for automobiles and forklift trucks • Center bearing units • Bearings molded with vibration isolating rubber...

■ Friction dampers for manual transmissions ■ Various boots for joints and dust covers 2. Functional products for motorcycles • Air cleaner joints • Carburetor joints • Sprocket wheels • Muffler joints • Plastic gear shafts • Oil strainers • Mesh gaskets • Ball-component clutch releases • Vertical gaskets ■ Various functional products 5

Features ■ FEM (Finite Element Method) Analysis JTEKT uses the non-linear finite element method to analyze non-linear materials such as rubber, for which accurate analysis was difficult before. The company has been studying sealing-mechanism theories by this method in order to develop new products. The findings so far have been very useful for basic research as well as for rubber-component design. The FEM is our common design tool today, enabling highly reliable analysis and evaluation, speeding up research and product development. Pressure deflection, stress analysis Stress High Tension Low...

1.1 Nomenclature and functions of seal components 1.1 Nomenclature and functions of seal components (1) Nomenclature of components Oil seals work to prevent leakage of sealed objects such as lubricants from inside and also to prevent the entry of dust and contaminants from outside. Oil seals are designed in a variety of shapes according to the applications and substances to be sealed. Fig. 1.1.1 shows a typical shape of seal and its component nomenclature. 8 Back face 5 Metal case 6 O.D surface 7 Nose 4 Spring Housing Air side Sealed side Shaft 2 Minor lip 3 Sealing edge 1 Main lip Fig. 1.1.1...

4 Spring Because this spring is a closely wound type coil, the initial tension can be obtained high level, and then changes in load characteristics can be gradual with respect to spring elongation. Tension at the sealing edge can thus be kept stable at an appropriate level. Spring rate (slope of line) Spring load The spring supplements the tension at the sealing edge to ensure tight contact between the shaft and the sealing edge and enhanced sealing performance. The spring also prevents the deterioration of main lip sealing performance caused by high heat or others. Inflection point Service range...

1.3 Seal types (1) Common seal types and their features Table 1.3.2 lists the seal type codes used at JTEKT, along with the corresponding codes used in the ISO, JIS, and JASO standards. Seals are classified by O.D wall material, lip type and whether with spring or without spring. Major oil seals are specified in ISO 6194, JIS B 2402, and JASO F 401. Table 1.3.1 shows common seal types.
