What are the sealing ring materials

There are three main types of sealing ring materials, respectively, rubber, graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene. In addition to the general requirements of the sealing ring material, the sealing ring should also pay attention to the following conditions: (1) elasticity and resilience; (2) appropriate mechanical strength, including expansion strength, elongation and tear strength. (3) stable performance, in the medium is not easy to dissolve, thermal contraction effect (Joule effect) is small. (4) Easy to process molding, and can maintain precise size. (5)Non-corrosive contact surface, no contamination of the medium, etc..

Installation and use of seals should be noted:

(1) can not be installed in the wrong direction and damage to the lip. If the lip is scarred by more than 50μm, it may lead to obvious oil leakage.

(2) Prevent forced installation. Can not be hammered in, but with a special tool to first press the seal into the seat hole, and then use a simple cylinder to protect the lip through the spline part. Before installation, apply some lubricant to the lip to facilitate installation and prevent burns during initial operation, and be careful to clean it.

(3) to prevent overuse. Dynamic seal of the rubber seal use period is generally 3000 ~ 5000h, should be replaced in a timely manner with new seals.

(4)Replacement of seal ring size to be consistent. To strictly in accordance with the requirements of the manual, the same size of the seal ring, otherwise it can not guarantee the compression and other requirements.

(5) Avoid using old seals. The use of new seals, but also to carefully check its surface quality, to determine the absence of small holes, protrusions, cracks and grooves and other defects and have sufficient flexibility before use.

(6) installation, should be strictly cleaned first open hydraulic system parts, it is best to use a special tool to prevent the metal sharp edges of the fingers will be scratched.

(7) When replacing the seal, the seal groove should be strictly inspected, remove the dirt and polish the bottom of the groove.

(8) In order to prevent damage resulting in oil leakage, it must be operated in accordance with the regulations, and at the same time, it can not be overloaded for a long time or put the machine in a relatively harsh environment.
