Abstract

A fundamental research into the lubrication mechanism and operation of a new type of rotary shaft seal has been conducted. Optical interference technique was successfully used to study the film profiles with optically smooth elastomer seals. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication was found to exist over a wide range of operating conditions. A study of the other performance variables for the Offset-Seal define its useful application range to be between the Packing-Gland and Face-Seal.
