Looking for a good book on seal design
Looking for a good book on seal design
(OP)
We are an injection molding company looking for a good book on how to design chevron and cup seals for hydraulics and pneumatics. Any recommendation would be appreciated. I am having a hard time finding any valid information.
Thank you,

There are some, and very expensives all.
Depending on your focus, you can get one or another. I own about 5 different ones (and read another 2). Mostly very similar on contents, you've got more and less technical ones, and more focused on oil seals, and mechanical seals rather than hydraulic and pneumatic seal... So, with time, I'm trying to write my own!!
Under our experience, on manufacturing seals, we appply 50% experience and 50% technical.
Regarding your ideas, basically you need to be more concentrated on plastics, and more specifically, on material's physic.
Today you can find good PUR compound manufacturers, but need to understand the physics to get a good seal.
If you like to discuss further, please let me know!

To be a fluid tight seal the areas of contact between the seal and the surface to seal become a dry running bearing so the P/V of the two materials becomes important design factor. I have found very little good P/V data on most common seal materials. The shape of the seal can have a multiplication effect on the contact pressure.
