Abstract

This paper deals with the sealing characteristics of mechanical face seals from the viewpoint of rubbing surface conditions. The relationship between topography of the sealing surface of the mechanical face seal and the frictional, wear and sealing characteristics were experimentally evaluated. As a result of testing, it became clear that the radius of curvature of the asperity in profiles of roughness curve of the mating ring surface on the mechanical face seal has a remarkable effect on the friction and wear characteristics of mechanical face seals.
