Zusammenfassung

Rotary lip seals can operate without leakage even under unfavorable conditions when, because of radial shaft vibrations, a relatively large gap is formed. Such conditions of dynamic tightness are governed by the formation of a vortex flow in the oil bulk and can be defined by a function of dimensionless parameters. In the absence of effective aids to dynamic sealing and under operating conditions where the sealing lip is running on a sub-micrometer elasto-hydrodynamic fluid film, permanent leakage will occur. The leakage, however, is so low that it can evaporate from the surface of a small oil meniscus at the air side of the sealing contact. Based on these results the sealing mechanism of rotary shaft seals can be explained in terms of a dynamic balance condition.
