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...

magnetic coupling can transmit force into a hermetically sealed enclosure without using a radial shaft seal, which may leak. Rotational frequency, n Measured...

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

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...

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...

bearings hold rotating components such as shafts or axles within mechanical systems and transfer axial and radial loads from the source of the load to the...

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...
