As part of our seal range, Fluorocarbon can provide Rotary Shaft Seals that utilise our wide range of PTFE materials. A typical Rotary Shaft Seal sits between a rotating shaft and a fixed housing. The outer surface of the seal is fixed to the housing, while the inner lip of the seal is pressing against the rotating shaft.
The seal housings are usually metallic and can be specified to meet customer requirements. The sealing lip or lips can be specified with directional hydrodynamic features to improve sealing. Where sealing at lower pressure becomes an issue, the lip can also be spring energised.
PTFE Radial Shaft Seals are usually made of a metal insert and a special grade of filled PTFE, occasionally using a spring-energised sealing lip.
Fluorocarbon have various grades of PTFE-filled materials depending on the application.
Our standard Rotary Shaft Seals are used to provide sealing and wiping functionality for rotating movements, to very high speeds, and a large temperature range (-196 to 260oC) at reasonable pressures.
Rotary Shaft Seal housings can be supplied in various materials to match the application.
Whether the product is a standard product or a bespoke we will make sure it will reach you on time.
