Excellent rod seal factory: Basics of fluid pump sealing – A mechanical seal is simply a method of containing fluid within a vessel (typically pumps, mixers, etc.) where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing or occasionally, where the housing rotates around the shaft. When sealing a centrifugal pump, the challenge is to allow a rotating shaft to enter the ‘wet’ area of the pump, without allowing large volumes of pressurized fluid to escape. To address this challenge there needs to be a seal between the shaft and the pump housing that can contain the pressure of the process being pumped and withstand the friction caused by the shaft rotating. The gap between the faces on a typical seal is as little as 1 micron – 75 times narrower than a human hair. Because the gap is so tiny, particles that would otherwise damage the seal faces are unable to enter, and the amount of liquid that leaks through this space is so small that it appears as vapor – around ½ a teaspoon a day on a typical application.

Every other leak path within the mechanical seal is blocked with the use off a gasket, o-ring, wedge (Rubber, PTFE or Flexible Graphite). The other key aspect of a mechanical pump seal is how to maintain the seal. Springs (single or multiple), a metal bellows or just compressed elastomers are used to provide the needed energy to keep pressing the seal faces together. The load the seal faces receive are engineered into the design of the seal. The choice of what is the best depends on the temperature, and nature of what is being sealed (viscosity, abrasiveness, weight (is it a slurry?)). Cartridge Seals are pre-assembled package of mechanical seal components making installation much easier with fewer points for potential mechanical pump seal installation errors to occur. Mechanical seals occasionally require a seal pot to provide a buffer fluid for your double cartridge seals. Seal pots can not only provide a lubricating buffer, but they can also heat or cool the barrier fluid they contain.
Good sealing performance: Because the system works outdoors, there is no leakage oil recovery system, and the working medium will directly pollute the environment after leakage, so external leakage requirements are strict. At the same time, for the requirements of hydraulic oil heating control, pressure maintaining or maintaining position, the internal leakage requirements are also very strict. High pressure: The working pressure of the hydraulic system is high, usually above 20MPa, and the highest is about 40Mpa, which is higher than the general industrial hydraulic system pressure, so the sealing pressure resistance requirements are high.
The rotary seal from DMS SEALS is a dynamic sealing component that is installed between the rotating shaft and the stationary parts to seal the lubricating oil and prevent external dust and debris from entering the inside of the device. When selecting the material, we fully consider the working medium, working temperature and the adaptability of the lip when the shaft rotates at high speed. It has a remarkable sealing performance and can maintain a great sealing effect for a long time.
It can maintain stable performance after prolonged exposure to various corrosive compounds. Due to its lack of polarity, low unsaturation, and high chemical stability, our gasket has high resistance to various polar chemicals such as alcohols, acids (acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.), strong base (sodium hydroxide, oxidant, hydrogen peroxide), detergents, animal and vegetable oils, ketones and certain esters. It is designed to have excellent aging resistance and excellent resistance to compression set and compression stress relaxation. Therefore, our gasket has significant advantages over other conventional gaskets. Its excellent materials and manufacturing process enables it to achieve effective sealing when exposed to corrosive chemicals, friction, high temperatures or very low temperatures. At the same time, it is easy to install and has industry-leading creep resistance, which saves users a lot of time and cost and increases productivity.
Our piston seals are designed to provide excellent leak control. We guarantee that it can perfectly meet the user’s requirements for low friction, compactness, precise configuration and simple installation. It is designed for fluid power applications. It is made of compound materials with high performance, which guarantees excellent wear resistance and excellent extrusion resistance for the seal. It is designed to be suitable for almost all fluid media and is highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It has excellent dynamic and static sealing performance and can even work under dusty industrial environments. Moreover, it has strong adaptability to various working conditions and can adapt to a fast, high-pressure working environment. At the same time, it has unparalleled performance in extreme temperature environments.
Diffusion leakage: Driven by the concentration difference, the medium leaks through the material transfer generated by the sealing gap or the capillary of the sealing material. Diffusion is the result of molecular motion and is not unidirectional. When the sealing pressure difference is extremely small or in a vacuum state, or when sealing permeable substances such as nitrogen and hydrogen, as well as highly toxic and radioactive substances, special attention should be paid to the leakage and diffusion.
