Abstract
The paper presents the results of research into a hybrid seal which is a combination of standard rotary lip seals and a magnetic fluid seal. To maintain the magnetic fluid in the friction zone region, either a specially shaped pole piece was used or the shaft was modified accordingly. The research study concerns the allowable operating pressure and lubrication conditions in short-term and durability tests after which shaft wear was also assessed. Magnetic fluids with different rheological and magnetic properties were considered. The test results showed that the long-term operation of a hybrid seal is possible. The requirements, however, are the appropriate value of the magnetic field and dynamic viscosity of the magnetic fluid.
