Hydraulic seals manufacturer and supplier from Dmsseals: Mechanical seals often need to be used in chemical applications. When confronted with some harsh chemicals, mechanical seals containing elastomers made of Viton, Kalrez or Chemrez can’t hold up. Because PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)or as most people know it Teflon ® , has a 0-14 ph range it usually will hold up. Like most materials every choice has an up and a down side. Because PTFE will handle most chemical applications, chemical attack is no longer an issue. One the down side PTFE wedges can cause fretting of your sleeve or shaft if you have not hard surfaced your shaft or sleeve (plasma coating). The stationary element of your seal will require a PTFE gasket. It’s not much good to have a PTFE on the rotary and then use an elastomer on the seat. We have seen it done, and because it is a static application some have gotten away with it, but it is not recommended. Most commonly the seat will be a L-shaped or Clamped mount style to allow space for a PTFE gasket to be used as the secondary sealing element. See even more details on wiper seals.
Before examining how mechanical seals function it is important to understand other methods of forming this seal. One such method still widely used is Gland Packing. Gland packing is a braided, rope like material that is packed around the shaft – physically stuffing the gap between the shaft and the pump housing. Gland packing is still commonly used in many applications, however increasingly users are adopting mechanical seals for the following reasons; The friction of the shaft rotating wears away at the packing over time, which leads to increased leakage until the packing is adjusted or re-packed. The friction of the shaft also means that packing also needs to be flushed with large volumes of water in order to keep it cool. Packing needs to press against the shaft in order to reduce leakage – this means that the pump needs more drive power to turn the shaft, wasting energy. Because packing needs to contact the shaft it will eventually wear a groove into it, which can be costly to repair or replace.
Sealing performance over conventional O-rings is achieved by reducing particle generation, extending seal life and minimizing replacement time during preventive maintenance. Compared to traditional O-rings, this seal effectively reduces the number of dust particles generated during operation and extends the life of the machine with bonded seals installed. The seal has a working diameter range of 6.5 to 60.58mm.
Scraper seals are also known as wiper seals. The scraper sealof DMS SEALS can effectively prevent various forms of contamination that cause a hydraulic system failure. It can be mounted on the outside of the piston rod seal of the hydraulic cylinder to protect the hydraulic cylinder from dirt, dust and moisture. It can well protect the hydraulic cylinder from environmental pollution and effectively prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinder parts, causing the system to malfunction. DMS offers a wide range of wiper seals for different hydraulic systems with different characteristics, specifications and combinations.
Gasket sealing mechanism: The function of the gasket is caused by the blocking effect on the internal medium formed by the contact pressure of the sealing material on the joint surface and the elastic restoring force to the external tightening force. Classification and structure of gaskets: Gaskets are divided into three categories: non-metallic gaskets, non-metallic and metal combined gaskets and metal gaskets. The common materials are rubber, leather, asbestos board, cork, PTFE, tinplate, steel, aluminum, copper and stainless steel.

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 O-ring of DMS SEALS is often used in hydraulic and pneumatic transmission systems and has wide applications. It can be used for both static and reciprocating seals. Moreover, it can also be used in rotary sealing systems. The O-ring can be installed in a groove with a rectangular cross section on the outer or inner circle, achieving a good sealing effect. It has many advantages compared with other types of sealing rings. Its compact structure makes it easy to assemble and disassemble. Moreover, its dynamic frictional resistance is relatively small, and a single piece of O-ring can achieve sealing performance in both directions.
