Felt shaft seal design
Felt shaft seal design
(OP)
Does anyone know were i can get info on felt seal design?specifically design considerations for the shaft eg; does the contact area need to be hardened?what surface finish/roughness is required? any help will be appreciated eg; books, websites, etc
Thanks!
Thanks!
RE: Felt shaft seal design
Summary:
Can be used for peripheral speeds up to 4 m/s, for speeds greater than this the seal will form a gap and becomes a non-contact seal.Surface roughness should not exceed 3.2 um. For peripheral speeds in excess of 4 m/s a groung finish is recommended.
To protect your shaft from damage you may consider fitting a ground ring. i.e. a sleeve on which the seal can run. The sleeve can be replaced at a much lesser cost than the shaft.
