Oil Seals: General

 

This chapter deals with the sealing of fluids on rotating shafts, a delicate problem that now finds its almost universal solution in the application of a product known as a "rotary shaft seal". The entire discussion is destined for designers and users, as a valid support and guidance for selecting the most appropriate type for their specific uses. The shape of the "rotary shaft seal" is shown in the figure belowe, which also supplies the recurrent nomenclature for the component parts of the ring.
