Abstract

The paper contains discussion of the influence of both friction and wear on the operation of the elastomer seals. Friction is critical factor not only in rotating or reciprocating seals but also in static seals. Its minimization cannot be achieved by means of improving lubrication since it can result in unacceptable leakage. There are shown means to lower deformation component of friction coefficient as well as change of adhesion component of friction for dry and lubricated surfaces.
