Radial shaft seals, also known as lip seals, are used to seal rotary elements, such as a shaft or rotating bore. Common examples include strut seals, hydraulic...

designs using flexible elements, see radial shaft seal (or "lip seal") and O-ring. An end-face mechanical seal consists of rotating and stationary components...

mechanical seal Face seal Plug Radial shaft seal Trap (plumbing) (siphon trap) Stuffing box (mechanical packing) Wiper seal Dry gas seal Leakage (chemistry)...

magnetic coupling can transmit force into a hermetically sealed enclosure without using a radial shaft seal, which may leak. Magnetic gears are also used in brushless...

to produce leather cuff seals for motors. The Austrian engineer Walther Simmer [de] developed an improved radial shaft seal that was patented in 1932...

and is used in oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors. Compression garter springs exert outward radial forces, while extension...

inner face of the seal would cause the seal to become more stable. In addition, axial misalignment would also cause the horizontal shaft to shift in the...

couplings makes assembly easier. These couplings also compensate shaft displacements (radial, axial and angular) and the torque is transmitted in shear. Depending...

the bearings, housings, and only a short section of the shaft itself, that also carries all radial loads. The full-floating design is typically used in most...

include bearings, couplings, impeller locking device, fan discharge casing, shaft seal plates etc. The fan drive determines the speed of the fan wheel (impeller)...

with respect to the runner shaft axis. If the fluid is flowing from inward to outward then it is called outflow radial turbine. In this turbine, the...

angles to the shaft (radially); an example is the centrifugal fan, which is commonly used to implement a vacuum cleaner. Another type of radial-flow pump...

parallel to the shaft of the impeller, that is, fluid particles, in course of their flow through the pump, do not change their radial locations. It allows...

uses a shaft in a much larger hole, and spheres or cylinders called "rollers" tightly fill the space between the shaft and the hole. As the shaft turns...

between the parts and the O-ring. Dynamic examples include rotating pump shafts and hydraulic cylinder pistons. Static applications of O-rings may include...

The slewing drive is a gearbox that can safely hold radial and axial loads without brakes, as well as transmit a torque for rotating. The rotation can...

parts include the radial bearings (bushings) distributed along the length of the shaft, providing radial support to the pump shaft. An optional thrust...

apex and side seal materials was determined experimentally, to obtain the best duration of both seals and housing cover. For the shaft, steel alloys with...

possible are: Journal (friction, radial or rotary) bearing: This is the most common type of plain bearing; it is simply a shaft rotating in a hole. It is also...

assembled on, and fixed to, the shaft with keys or pins. However, this type of drum motor design has a limited maximum radial load due to the bending stresses...

non-constant. A radial piston pump is a form of hydraulic pump. The working pistons extend in a radial direction symmetrically around the drive shaft, in contrast...

permits angular misalignment. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer...

stroke power presses, to control the stroke length of a three cylinder radial engine. Later, the swashplate engine with an adjustable swashplate angle...

patent was for a compound radial engine with an exhaust-driven axial flow turbine and compressor mounted on a common shaft. The first prototype was finished...

aligned in line, in a V configuration, horizontally opposite each other, or radially around the crankshaft. Opposed-piston engines put two pistons working at...

The edges of the scrolls are sealed by strip-type seals, while the supercharger's main shaft bearings use radial seals to prevent the charge air from...

bearings are outside the sump. This style of pump uses no stuffing box to seal the shaft but instead utilizes a "throttle bushing". A common application for...
