Abstract

Various operating conditions can cause sealing systems to be insufficiently supplied with oil, resulting in starved lubrication. This paper deals with the experimental investigation of starved lubrication operating conditions. For this purpose, the test rig configuration used is introduced. The influence of starved lubrication on 3 different sealing systems was investigated. In addition to a standard elastomeric rotary shaft seal, a multi-lip initially grease-filled elastomeric rotary shaft seal and a PTFE sleeve with circumferential grooves were employed. The results show that the standard rotary shaft seal is unsuitable for the investigated starved lubrication conditions. The other two sealing systems performed better in comparison and are suitable for operation with a starved oil supply, at least for short durations.
