General
Mechanics of a Radial Shaft Seal - General A Simrit Radial Shaft Seal is used to seal a rotating shaft against the predominantly stationary housing of the unit. The most important functioning area of the radial shaft seal is the sealing edge which comes in contact with the surface area of a rotating shaft. (See figure 1, pg 1.1) The sealing mechanism in the sealing lip is critically important when it comes to the sealing function. It is dependent on: - The layout of the sealing lip The properties of the elastomeric material The finish of the shaft surface
For pressurized applications, a short profile and a stable profile for the shaft
The characteristic dimension for the distance from the center of the spring to the sealing edge is the spring plane (R-Value): An R-Value dimension that is too small can result in the toppling over of the seal, especially with any radial shaft deflection.
Too large an hf dimension can cause the profile to tilt. This will cause a wide contact area on the shaft and result in a wide wear track. Sealing lip geometry The angle of the sealing lip influences the sealing mechanism by affecting conditions for contact pressure: Oiled side: steep angle 35 60 degrees Air side: shallow angle 12 30 degrees
Characteristic dimensions of sealing lip profile A good knowledge base in seal design and function is required prior to establishing and interpreting characteristic dimensions. Dimensions are set by each manufacturer depending on the material properties, size and lip geometry. hD and Sm are set depending on the shaft diameter and the operating conditions. The coordination of both of these dimensions affects the flexibility of the lip: - Long and flexible sealing lips for high tolerances of offset (static eccentricity) and concentricity
The sealing lip inner diameter in a free state, is always smaller than the shaft diameter. The covering (also pre-tension) is the difference between these two measurements. The dimension for the length of the lip is the measurement hD. Dimension for the cross-section of the lip is Sm. The characteristic dimension for the distance from the center of the spring to the sealing edge is the spring plane, hF.

Dynamic Sealing Behavior
Dynamic sealing behavior

The most important functional area of the Simrit Radial Shaft seal is the sealing edge which is in contact with the surface area of a rotating shaft. The sealing mechanism in the sealing lip contact area has the greatest impact on the performance of the seal and its function. This is dependent on the layout of the sealing lip, the properties of the elastomeric material and the shaft surface finish.
Figure 1
structure of the sealing lips distortion features. (Figure 3) This distortionoccurs during the running-in phase of the seal. Therefore this run-in phase is critical to the seals performance. It creates a helix-effect and in combination with the shafts rotation, a pumping action directed at the oil side of the unit due to the predictable lip deformation.
Figure 3
The radial force of the sealing lip, in combination with the geometry of the sealing lip angle and spring plane distance produces an asymmetric footprint representing the pressure contact points.(Figure 2) - maximum pressure and steep increase on the oil side - shallow decline on the air side This is of significant importance as it relates to sealing function.
Figure 2 Radial Force FR
Even when stationary, the medium and lubrication used in sealing, penetrates the lip by capillary action on the uneven areas of the shaft. However, there is still direct contact of sealing lip with the shaft. Should the complex relationships between the sealing lip and contact area be disrupted by: (Figure 4) - improper shaft surface finish - scratches, pores and other imperfections on the shaft and seal, - contamination or corrosive products in the medium, - hardening and cracks on the sealing edge, the seal will not perform properly and will be prone to leak.
Figure 4
Oil Side Air Side Shaft
The contact pressure distribution by the aysymmetric footprint and the power generated by the rotating shaft lead to a predictable characteristic deformation of the sealing lip. This predictable performance requires a good elastomeric material which provides a clear 1.1

Areas of Influence
Speed To determine the shafts surface speed V the following formula applies: Shaft diameter D x Revolutions per min x pi V(m/s) = 60
Pressure Simrit Radial Shaft Seals can be designed to handle pressures up to 150 psi. Most common seals, such as those shown on page iv, are designed for little or no internal fluid pressure.
Temperature The temperature on the sealing edge is higher than in the oil bath due to the rotation of the shaft and the corresponding friction produced.
Sealing against contaminants The use of a Simrit Radial Shaft seal with a dust lip is recommended for sealing against the dirt, dust and moisture on the air side.
Lubrication An increase in the revolutions per minute, and consequently surface speed, equates to higher heat. Good lubrication and diffusion of the heat are important factors to ensuring the sealing edge falls within a permissible temperature range. Neglect in these areas leads to: -High wear -Premature hardening of the sealing lip -Shortened seal life
NOTE: Before installation, fill the space between sealing lip and dust lip with grease to +/- 40% of available space to ensure lubrication of the dust lip and to avoid any corrosion on the shaft. We would like to recommend grease from Kluber Lubrication.
In order to combat an aggressive attack from contaminants, it is possible to use two seals in tandem. For extreme conditions, standard combinations, labrynth seals and modular sealing systems can be used. Please contact your Simrit representative for assistance.

Frictional Life
As shown above, the choice of lubricants, the environmental temperature, and the application speed are intimately related to the seals frictional life. Careful analysis of these variables and their relationship to the choice in seal design and materials allows the user to achieve desired durability goals with the most cost effective solution.
2.1.1
System Temperature
A seal will generate heat in excess of the oil sump temperature. The graph below shows the approximate amount of heat generated. GENERAL SEAL LIP TEMPERATURE RISE ABOVE THE OIL SUMP TEMPERATURE

In order to determine the maximum temperature limitations of any particular material, you must look carefully at the operating conditions. First, determine the excess lip temperature generated in the application. Then, add to that the oil sump temperature. This is the upper temperature limit requirement to consider when choosing the seal material (see material section).

The primary factors influencing the durability of a seal are the temperature, fluid, and the seal material.

Seal Lip Temperature, C
Using a lubricant that promotes seal durability can significantly increase seal life. In general, using a fluid that has good lubricity is desired. Additive packages that prevent oil breakdown at higher temperatures can attack a seal material, and should be reviewed with the Simrit representative. With the proper choice of fluid, seal design, and materials, seals can often last over 10,000 hours in clean environments.

In general, the system temperature increases as the shaft speed increases. The above chart provides general recommended maximum shaft speeds for each of the common lip seal materials.
2.1.4
Eccentricity General
Offset (Static eccentricity) Deviation of the offset, or deviation of concentricity between the shaft and the receiving bore, leads to irregular distribution of contact pressure and to a skewed positioning of the shaft within the shaft circumference. This migration to one side of the sealing lip leads to a greater width contact track and the loss of contact pressure on the opposite side. This impairs the sealing function. (See Total Eccentricity Limits)
Run-out deviation Run-out deviation, or dynamic eccentricity of the shaft (shaft whip) is to be avoided as much as possible. At high revolutions the possibility exists, because of its inertia, that the sealing lip will no longer follow the shaft. The enlarged sealing gap between the sealing edge and the shaft will lead to a certain level of leakage.
NOTE: Bearing play is to be reduced as much as possible due to the fact that the seal is typically located in direct proximity to the bearing.
3.0
Eccentricity Limits
Total Eccentricity Limits
Total eccentricity consists of two components: shaft run-out and shaft-to-bore misalignment (offset). Combine these two figures to obtain the maximum eccentricity that the seal must follow as the shaft rotates. As eccentricity increases or shaft speed increases, it becomes more difficult for the seal lip to maintain contact with the shaft. The total recommended eccentricity (static offset plus dynamic run-out) limits for most oil seals is shown below for different size shafts and speeds. Note that more extreme eccentricity levels can be met with special designs.

SEAL DESIGN
Pressure Seals
-Seal must resist lip deformation to minimize friction, wear and heat. -Seal material should have high mechanical strength -Special retention and support mechanisms may be required to prevent seal extrusion.
Pressure deformation causes increased seal contact with the shaft, thus increasing friction, heat generation, and wear.
There are special issues that must be addressed when dealing with pressure seal applications. The seal must resist lip deformation from internal fluid pressure to minimize friction, wear, and heat. Seal material should have high mechanical strength. Special retention and support mechanisms are usually required to resist seal back-out and extrusion. System eccentricities need to be more carefully considered than with non-pressure seals.
4.0
Pressure Seals
Standard pressure seals Our Simrit Radial Shaft Seals are primarily designed for applications that do not involve pressure or for an application with very low pressure (below 5 psi). With intermittent pressure it is possible to use pressure seal designs as the dust lip prevents suction from the air side. However, when low atmospheric pressure is part of the application equation, the use of a second seal with the sealing lip directed to the air side may be required.
However, unique to our industry, Simrit does have a standard line of seals that will handle pressures below 150 psi. (TCV and BABSL up to 50 psi; TCN up to 150 psi, dependent on shaft speed.)
A feature of this seal is its short, but nevertheless, flexible lip. This special design prevents the increase of the sealing lip contact pressure and consequently the frictional behavior.
The lubrication of the sealing lip by a barrier liquid ensures the sealing of a vacuum. This lubrication works against the vacuum and adds resistance to the seal through pressure; the use of a TCV or BABSL style seal is recommended in this instance.
Note: All pressure-resistant Simrit radial shaft seals must be sufficiently secure on the non pressurized side to guard against squeeze-out from the bore.

With the addition of increasing internal pressure to the seal operating conditions, seal life becomes dramatically reduced due to the added friction and heat unless the seal is designed to accommodate the pressure. Simrit has several different seal designs that have a proven track record in a variety of pressure and speed applications where standard designs will not work.

Radial Shaft Seals

SURFACE FINISH
The condition of the shaft is as important as the condition of the seal if proper sealing and long life are to be achieved. Care must be taken to specify the proper design and process parameters for production of the shaft. Also, adequate care in handling and protection of the sealing surface must be followed, as handling damage to the running surface is one of the most frequent causes of seal leakage.
5.0
Structure of the Shaft
Structure of the Shaft The structure of the shaft as it relates to the surface area at point of contact with the sealing lip, directly impacts the function of the seal and the durability of the sealing system. Surface roughness When the depth of roughness is too low (especially with higher surface speed), the potential for problems exist due to the inability of the lubricant to effectively reach the sealing edge. This can result in premature hardening and the formation of cracks and possibly signs of combustion on the sealing edge. When the depth of roughness is too high the potential for problems exists with excessive premature wear and possible leakage within the sealing system. (See Recommended Shaft Conditions) Plunge Grinding The recommended procedure in shaft preparation is plunge grinding. This is to ensure the desired non-oriented state of the shaft. (Plunge Grind Process) Shaft Materials Suitable materials to ensure the proper function of our Simrit Radial Shaft seals are: -The steel usually found in mechanical engineering, e.g. C35 and C45 -Casting materials such as ball graphite and malleable iron. -Sprayed on metal coatings -Coatings applied through CVD and PVD processes, as well as, anodized coatings positively assessed The adherence to values for roughness and a good adhesion to the base material are prerequisites. Note generally suitable are: -Hard chrome coatings -Plastic materials Shaft impairment Scratches, pressure sites, rust and other damage on the seals running surface ultimately leads to leakage problems. Note: Great care in protecting the shaft during production and through to final assembly is recommended. This can be accomplished by using protective sleeves and special transporting devices.

Housings
Housings Steel and cast iron provide good surfaces for both rubber covered and metal O.D. seals. For soft alloy (aluminum) bores, rubber covered O.D. seals provide better sealing capability. In aluminum or other soft alloy bores, metal O.D. seals occasionally back out of the bore due to thermal expansion of the soft alloy. Rubber, having a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than carbon steel, will tighten in the bores as temperature rises. Metal O.D. seals are not recommended for use in plastic or nylon housings. These materials typically expand at a high rate causing leakage around the seal O.D. Rubber covered O.D. seals should be used in these situations.
Bore Chamfer A bore chamfer is necessary to assist in installation of the seal. Proper chamfer angle and depth minimizes cocking or lack of squareness of the seal to the shaft, distortion of the seal cases, and reduces assembly force.

Leakage - General
Leakage There are different and varying terms to define what is classified as leakage. Watertight: No moisture on seal Moist: bead of moisture in sealing edge area limiting the function, but not going beyond back surface area Wet: bead of moisture going beyond back surface area with the formation of droplets, but not dripping Measurable Leakage: small beads of moisture on outside of housing coming from the back of the seal Passing Leakage: short-term problem within the sealing system, e.g. caused by small dirt particles under the sealing edge which will wash away with further use. Apparent Leakage: passing leakage which leads back to the grease filling between the sealing lip and dust lip. The overflowing grease appears as apparent leakage on the outside.
Causes for measurable leakage can be: -Varied expansion of seal and housing on the static side by non-adherence to tolerances. -Cracks in the material, above all in the sealing edge due to exceeding seal operating limitations. -Increasing hardness of rubber caused by exceeding seal working parameters and incompatibility with the media being sealed. -Corrosion from the shaft up to the sealing edge. -Failure of lubrication thereby seal runs dry; result is excessive wear on the sealing lip. -Formation of oil carbons in the sealing edge area. -Vibration of the unit and shaft to such an extent that the sealing lip can no longer follow. -Permanent ingress of dirt on the sealing lip from either inside the chamber or out. -Damage due to handling or installation.

Probable Causes of Seal Failure
The user has primary control over the variables influencing short term or warranty failure. The condition of the shaft and housing, operating parameters and installation play large roles in determining the short term warranty factors. Simrit and the seal user share responsibility for the sealing systems long term durability. While the shaft and housing preparation and installation of a seal are primary factors involving the user, Simrit works with the customer in designing a seal that meets the operating conditions outlined by that user. These combined factors will determine the long term durability of the sealing product.

Prepare proper housing bore diameter and chamfer. Prepare proper shaft diameter and chamfer. Ensure appropriate prelubrication (usually the lubricant being sealed). Use a hydraulic press or other suitable method to ensure proper force and speed are applied. Use proper tools. Install the seal contaminant and damage free: a. Open only 1 package of seals at a time; b. Installation area must be kept clean; c. Tools, protective sleeves, and bullets must be kept clean and periodically inspected for damage.

Radial Shaft Seals

MATERIAL SELECTION
MATERIAL SELECTION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

1. Application Temperature 2. Compatibility with the Lubricant 3. Seal Durability Requirements 4. Microasperities
Simrit elastomers can be customized to meet specific customer requirements. We currently compound hundreds of different recipes to fit many unique applications.
10.0
Media to be Sealed
Medium and selection of material The medium to be sealed determines the selection of Simrit material and also the selection of the seal to be used. Sealing is possible against liquid, vapor and in exceptional cases, even low viscosity and gaseous media. Simrit materials can seal against various lubricating substances, e.g .: -Mineral oils -Synthetic oils -Greases based on mineral oils -Synthetic greases -Hydraulic oils -Highly inflammable pressurized liquids -Silicone oils with low lubricating properties Under special circumstances, Simrit materials can seal against low lubricating, aggressive media, e.g.: -Acids -Alkalis -Organic solvents
Reactions between media and Simrit materials Chemical influences of the media on Simrit materials are crucial. Chemical reactions are accelerated by increased temperatures. Materials of any sort can harden or soften due to the media exposure. -Hardening by ageing process caused by media -Softening through swelling caused by the media.
Upper limit conditions The limits imposed on applications for the Simrit radial shaft seal are reached and exceeded when several conditions meet the upper operating limits; such as: -The maximum permitted surface speed -The maximum permitted temperature -Pressure resistance -Sparce lubrication or reduced heat dissipation.

Glossary of Terms
Assembled spring Inside Diameter: The inner diameter of the garter spring, with the ends securely joined. Axial clearance: The gap between the toe face to the head section and the inside surface of the inner case. Circumferential surface roughness: Surface roughness of a shaft measured in a direction (plane) normal to the centerline axis. Cocked assembly: An installation in which the plane of the outside seal face is not perpendicular to the shaft axis. Coil: One turn of the coiled wire garter spring. Contact approach angle: Synonym: Angle, Outside lip Contact line: The line of intersection between the outside and inside lip surfaces of a radial shaft seal. In a cross-section view, this intersection is illustrated as a point. Contact line height: The axial distance from the outside seal face to the lip contact line. Contact width: The width of the lip contact area of a radial shaft seal, measured in the axial direction. Crack: A sharp break or fissure in the sealing element. Cut: A deep discontinuity in the seal material whereby no material is removed. Deformation: A stress induced change of form or shape. Dynamic Run-out: Twice the distance the center of the shaft is displaced from the center of rotation and expressed in TIR. That Run-out to which the seal lip is subjected due to the outside diameter of the shaft not rotating in a true circle. Synonym: Shaft Run-out Elastomer: An elastic rubber like substance. Extrusion: Permanent displacement of part of a seal into a gap, under the action of fluid pressure. Fluid side: The side of the seal which in normal use faces toward the fluid being sealed. Functional lip diameter: The apparent inner diameter of the seal when the seal case is concentric with the outer diameter of the sizing mandrel in an air gage, light box, or similar inspection equipment. Garter spring: A helically coiled wire with its ends connected to form a ring. It is used in tension for maintaining a radial sealing force between element of a radial lip seal and a shaft. Heel: Synonym: Heel section Heel section: The portion of a lip seal which is attached to the seal case and bounded by the flex section and the outside face. Helix contact width: The axial width of that portion of the contact surface of a helix seal which is formed by the helical ribs. It is equal to the total axial width of the contact surface minus the width of the static lip. Housing bore: A cylindrical surface which mates with the outside diameter of the outer seal case. Hydrodynamic seal: A dynamic sealing device which utilizes the viscous shear and inertia forces of the fluid; imparted by a helically grooved or ribbed seal lip, to generate a pressure differential that opposes fluid flow. Inclusion: Foreign matter included in the seal material. Inner case: A rigid, cup-shaped component of a seal assembly, which is placed inside the outer seal case. It has one or more of the following functions: reinforcing member, shield, spring retainer, lipclamping device.
12.0
Inside face: That surface of the inner case which faces, and is usally in contact with, the fluid being sealed. Inside single lip angle: The angle between the inside lip surface and the axis of the seal case. Lip diameter: The inner diameter of the seal lip, measured with the spring installed. Lip force: The radial force exerted by an extension spring and/or lip of a seal on the mating shaft. Lip force is expressed as force per unit of shaft circumference. Lip height: The axial distance from the outside seal face to the toe face. Lip ID to ID eccentricity: See: Radial Wall Variance Lip opening pressure: The pressure necessary for flowing air at 10000 cc/min. between the contact surface of a radial lip seal and shaft-size mandrel under the following conditions: the seal case outer diameter clamped to be concentric with the mandrel and the pressurized air applied to the outside lip surface. Lip seal: An elastomeric seal which prevents leakage in dynamic and static applications by reason of controlled interference between the seal lip and the mating surface. Lubricant starvation: Lack of proper lubrication at the seal interface which may cause premature wear and early failure. Offset: The radial distance between the axis of the seal bore and axis of shaft rotation. Oil seal: A seal designed primarily for the retention of oil. Outer case: the outer thin-wall rigid structure of the lip seal assembly which contains the inner case, the primary seal ring, the spring and the secondary seal. Outside lip angle: The angle between the outside lip and the axis of the seal case.
Plunge ground: The surface texture of shaft or wear sleeve produced by presenting the grinding wheel perpendicular to the rotating shaft without axial motion. Primary lip: The normally flexible elastomeric component of a shaft seal assembly, which rides against the rotating surface and affects the seal. Radial lip seal: A type of seal which features a flexible sealing member referred to as a lip. The lip is usually an elastomeric material. It exerts radial sealing pressure on a mating shaft in order to retain fluids and/or exclude foreign matter. Radial load: The total force (load) acting on the seal lip which tends to maintain contact of the lip on the shaft. It is the sum of the forces developed from seal interference and the garter spring. Radial wall variation: the difference between the minimum and the maximum radial wall dimensions when measured around 360 degrees, of the seal lip. Rib: A long, narrow projection which is normally triangular in cross-section and which is molded into the outside lip surface of a helical seal. It is oriented at an angle to the shaft axis. One end of the rib forms part of the seal-lip contact surface. Rough trim: A trimmed surface with irregularities on the outside and inside lip surfaces in the immediate vicinity of the contact line Roughness: Irregularities in shaft surface texture which result from the production process. (See SAE J448a [June, 1963].) Scratch: A shallow discontinuity in the seal material whereby no material is removed. Seal assembly: A group of parts, which includes sealing surfaces, provisions for initial loading, and a secondary sealing mechanism which accommodates the radial movement necessary for installation and operation.

Seal case: A rigid member to which the seal lip is attached. Seal outer diameter: The external diameter of a lip-seal assembly. Shaft eccentricity: The radial distance in which the geometric center of a shaft is displaced from the axis of shaft rotation. Shaft lead: Spiral grooves on a shaft surface caused by relative axial movement of grinding wheel to shaft. Shaft Run-out: See: Dynamic Run-out Shaft surface finish: See: Shaft Surface Texture Shaft surface texture: A term used to describe the quality, appearance or characteristics of the shaft surface resulting from operations, such as grinding, polishing, burnishing, etc. (See SAE J448a [June, 1963]). Slip stick: A friction related phenomena in which the sealing element tends to adhere and rotate with the shaft surface momentarily until the elastic characteristics of the sealing element overcome the adhesive force, causing the seal lip to lose connection with the rotating shaft long enough to allow leakage. This cycle repeats itself continuously and is normally associated with non-lubricated and boundary-lubricated conditions Spiral trim: A trimmed surface which has a spiral pattern. Spring groove: A depression formed in the head section of the seal. It is generally semicircular in form and serves to accommodate and locate the garter spring. Spring outside coil diameter: The outer diameter of an individual helical coil of a garter spring. Spring retaining lip: The portion of the primary lip that restricts the axial movement of the extension spring from a predetermined position.
Trim: The removal of superfluous parts from a molded product, usually removal of parting line flash or feed spews. Trim cut: Damage to the elastomeric portion of the seal during trimming. Trimming angle: The angle between the trimmed face of a seal lip and the seal axis. Trimmed lip diameter: The lip diameter in the free state (no spring) developed by knife trimming the molded portion of the sealing element to form the contact line. Unbonded flash: Flash which does not adhere to the mating material. Unirotational seal: A seal, designed for applications having a single direction of shaft rotation. Unitized seal: A seal assembly in which all components necessary for accomplishing the complete sealing function are retained in a single package. Under-cure: A degree of cure less than desired. Volume swell: Increase in physical size caused by the swelling action of a liquid, generally expressed as a percent of the original volume. Wear sleeve: A replacement metal ring generally used in assemblies to eliminate expensive shaft replacement caused by grooving that may occur at the seal-shaft interface. Weepage: A minute amount of liquid leakage by a seal.
