The wear mechanism of these sealing systems is not fully understood and not predictable so far. If a lip seal fails, it causes high maintenance costs and environmental damage. In order to investigate the wear mechanism, an empirical test series is conducted with shaft seals on plunge ground shafts. Various tribological conditions are considered, including operating conditions relevant to practice. For a complete acquisition of the system condition, all shaft surfaces are measured 2- and 3-dimensional before and after the test runs. The wear of the sealing edges is evaluated with a recently developed laser line triangulation method on the complete circumference of the sealing rings. Results show large amounts of wear, depending significantly on the operating conditions. We discuss the wear mechanisms and the correlations of wear effects in the tribo contact area of the sealing system.
