Common seal types are specified in ISO 6194 and JIS B 2402 standards. The document provides a table of Koyo oil seal type codes and their corresponding codes in ISO, JIS, and JASO standards. Special seal types are also discussed, including Perfect Seals, Helix Seals, and Super Helix Seals, each designed for specific applications and motion types.
Seal Selection Criteria: The selection of seal types is guided by operational conditions such as housing material, pressure, and peripheral speed. Flowcharts are provided to assist in selecting the appropriate seal type based on these conditions. The document also discusses the selection of rubber materials based on temperature conditions and the substances to be sealed.
Rubber Material Properties: Different rubber materials are evaluated for their operational temperature ranges and stability with various fluids. The document provides guidelines for the upper limits of normal operation temperatures for rubber materials when used with different oils.
Shaft and Housing Design: The document provides specifications for shaft design, including material, hardness, dimensional accuracy, and surface roughness. It emphasizes the importance of proper shaft design to ensure good sealing performance. Recommendations for shaft end chamfer and finishing methods are also provided to prevent seal damage and ensure effective sealing.
Housing Design:
  • Material: Steel or cast iron is preferred for housings. Aluminum or plastic requires careful consideration due to different linear expansion coefficients, which can lead to seal dislocation or leakage.
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Housing bore tolerance should be H7 or H8 for bores up to 400 mm, and H7 for larger bores.
  • Chamfer: Chamfers should be provided at the housing bore inlet to facilitate seal mounting and prevent damage.
  • Housing Shoulder Diameter: Specific dimensional requirements must be met if the housing bore has a shoulder.
  • Surface Roughness: Bore surface should be finished to specified roughness to ensure proper seal seating and prevent leakage.
Total Eccentricity:
  • Total eccentricity, the sum of shaft runout and housing-bore eccentricity, affects sealing performance. It is expressed in TIR (Total Indicator Reading).
  • Allowable total eccentricity depends on seal characteristics, shaft diameter tolerance, temperature, and rotational speed.
Seal Characteristics:
  • Sealing Property: Oil seals prevent fluid leakage by creating a pumping effect through the main lip shape and contact with the rotating shaft.
  • Seal Service Life: Influenced by factors like temperature, eccentricity, rotational speed, and lubrication. Service life estimation is based on rubber material, lubricant, and lip temperature.
  • Lip Temperature: Estimation involves calculating peripheral speed and considering ambient temperature.
  • Allowable Peripheral Speed: Influenced by shaft runout and rubber material. It determines the speed at which sealing performance deteriorates.
  • Allowable Internal Pressure: Dependent on shaft runout and housing-bore eccentricity.
  • Seal Torque: Determined by lip radial load, coefficient of friction, and shaft diameter. Initial torque may be high but stabilizes over time.
Handling of Seal:
  • Storage: Proper storage conditions are crucial to prevent oil leakage. Store seals in air-conditioned environments with temperatures not exceeding 30°C and humidity between 40% and 70%. Use older seals first and avoid direct sunlight, ozone, and mechanical damage. Seals should not be stacked or hung to prevent deformation.
  • Mounting: Before mounting, ensure seals are clean and undamaged. Apply suitable lubricant to the seal lip. Use lithium-based grease for lubrication, avoiding silicone or urea-based greases for specific rubber types. In cold areas, warm the seal before mounting. Ensure the shaft edge is chamfered to prevent damage during installation.
  • Handling: Avoid excessive impact and use kerosene for cleaning. Do not use corrosive fluids or hang seals by wires, which can cause deformation.
  • Press-Fitting: Use appropriate jigs for press-fitting seals into housing bores. Ensure seals are mounted at right angles to prevent leakage. Refer to diagrams for required pressing loads based on seal dimensions.
  • Seal Failures and Countermeasures: Common causes of seal failures include improper handling, excessive pressure, and poor lubrication. Countermeasures involve correcting shaft chamfers, improving lubrication, and using high-pressure proof seals. Tables provide detailed causes and solutions for various seal failure symptoms.
