A Lip-Type Seal, also known as a radial lip seal or shaft seal, is used to prevent the leakage of fluids or contaminants along a Rotating Shaft. It is commonly used in various industrial applications, such as engines, pumps, gearboxes, and other rotating equipment. The purpose of a lip-type seal is to create a barrier between two areas, typically between a rotating shaft and its housing, to contain the fluid or lubricant within the system and prevent it from escaping or being contaminated by external substances. The seal consists of a flexible lip, usually made of elastomeric or synthetic materials, that makes contact with the shaft, creating a dynamic seal. The lip seal design ensures a tight fit between the seal and the shaft while allowing for relative movement and accommodating small misalignments or axial play. It prevents fluid leakage and reduces friction and wear between the shaft and housing, improving efficiency and extending the service life of the equipment by protecting the drive shaft.
Attributes:
• Dynamic barrier to prevent fluid leakage
• Minimizes friction with the shaft, allowing for efficient sealing without excessive wear
• Engineered to maintain effective contact with the shaft during rotation, ensuring a continuous seal
Applications:
A Lip-Type Seal is used to prevent fluid leakage in the drive motor shaft.
