Oil seal is general Sealing element In short, it is the sealing of lubricating oil. It is used to seal grease( oil yes drive system The most common liquid substance in Mechanical elements It isolates the parts to be lubricated in the transmission parts from the output parts, so as not to let the lubricating oil leak. Static seal And dynamic seal (generally reciprocating movement) is called oil seal.
The representative form of oil seal is TC oil seal, which is a double lip oil seal with self tightening spring completely covered by rubber. Generally speaking, oil seal refers to tc framework oil seal [1]

Schematic diagram of framework oil seal structure analysis
Oil seals are generally divided into Haplotype and Assembled For the assembly type, the framework and lip materials can be combined freely, and are generally used for special oil seals [2]
The oil seal can be divided into many forms and different names according to its sealing function, characteristics, structure type, working state and sealing mechanism, but it is customary to use the rotary shaft lip shape seal ring It is called oil seal, and the seals for static seal and dynamic seal (generally reciprocating motion) are called seals [2]
The representative form of oil seal is TC oil seal, which is a double lip oil seal with self tightening spring completely covered by rubber. Generally speaking, oil seal refers to tc Skeleton oil seal See Fig. for skeleton oil seal.

Common materials of oil seal include: Nitrile rubber , fluororubber, silicone rubber, Acrylate rubber , polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.
Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)
It has better heat-resisting wear-resisting Performance, resistance to various Lubricating oil , grease associated gas Mixture, etc., applicable temperature: - 30~120 ℃, but not within phosphate system Hydraulic oil Medium and gear oil containing extreme pressure additives, used in gasoline and low aniline point mineral oil Neutral can be stable. [5 ]
Acrylate rubber (ACM)
Excellent oil resistance, heat resistance, abrasion resistance ozone , resistant ultraviolet rays Radiation, especially resistance to extreme pressure liquid agent Lubricating oil , gear oil, motor oil, engine oil, petroleum hydraulic oil, etc., suitable for work in the range of - 30~150 ℃.
Fluororubber
It is aging resistant, heat resistant and oil resistant, and is applicable to almost all lubricating oils, fuel oils and gasoline. It is not easy to use in oils containing extreme pressure additives sclerosis , but Cold hardiness Poor performance, high temperature wear resistance, large permanent compression deformation, suitable for temperature of - 20~250 ℃.
silicon rubber
It has outstanding high and low temperature resistance, and can be used for a long time at 150 ℃ without performance change; It can be used continuously for 10000h under 200, and can maintain its unique use elasticity, ozone resistance, weather resistance and other advantages in the working temperature range of - 70~260.
teflon
It has outstanding chemical stability, thermal stability, antifriction and self lubrication, and its cracking temperature is above 400. Therefore, it can work normally in the temperature range of - 200~300 ℃. In addition to free fluorine and alkali metals, it has excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals, solvents, oxyhydrogen compounds and acids [2]
Nitrile rubber and fluororubber are widely used oil seals. The former has low cost, but its temperature resistance and sealing performance have been significantly improved, but its cost is high, and it still has some bad commonalities of ordinary rubber materials, such as poor wear resistance, short service life, and special sensitivity to eccentric response of the shaft. Leakage is still common. PTFE oil seal is a product with high technical content, which is the direction of oil seal development in the future [2]
When selecting the oil seal material, the material pair must be considered Working medium Compatibility Operating temperature range The adaptability of the lip and the ability of the lip to follow the rotation axis at high speed. Generally, the temperature of the lip of the oil seal is 20~50 ℃ higher than the temperature of the working medium when it is working. Attention should be paid to the selection of oil seal materials. The working range of oil seal is related to the material used for oil seal: - 40~120 ℃ for NBR, - 30~180 ℃ for ACM and - 25~300 ℃ for FPM.

oil seal
1. Preparations and precautions before startup
a、 Comprehensively check whether the mechanical seal, accessory devices and pipeline installation are complete and meet the technical requirements.
b、 Static pressure test shall be carried out before starting the mechanical seal to check whether there is leakage of the mechanical seal. If there are many leaks, find out the causes and try to eliminate them. If it is still invalid, it shall be disassembled, checked and reinstalled. 2~3 for general static pressure test pressure kg . /Square centimeter.
c、 Turn the gear according to the rotation direction of the pump and check whether it is light and even. as Turning gear If it is hard or not moving, check whether the assembly size is wrong and whether the installation is reasonable.
2. Installation and shutdown
oil seal
a、 Keep the sealing chamber full before starting liquid Body. When transporting solidified medium, the sealing chamber shall be heated by steam to melt the medium. The turning gear must be turned before starting to prevent the soft ring from breaking due to sudden starting.
b、 For the mechanical seal using the external sealing oil system of the pump, the sealing oil system shall be started first. Finally stop the oil sealing system after shutdown.
c、 Hot oil pump The sealing oil chamber and end face seal cannot be stopped immediately after shutdown cooling water The cooling water can be stopped only when the oil temperature at the end face seal drops below 80 degrees to avoid damaging the sealing parts.
3. Operation
a、 If there is slight leakage after the pump is started, observe for a period of time. If it runs continuously for 4 hours, Leakage If it still does not decrease, stop the pump for inspection.
b、 The operating pressure of the pump should be stable, pressure The fluctuation shall not be greater than 1 kg/cm2.
c、 During the operation of the pump, evacuation shall be avoided to avoid dry friction on the sealing surface and seal damage.
d、 The sealing condition shall be checked frequently. During operation, when the leakage exceeds the standard, the heavy oil shall not be more than 5 drops/min and the light oil shall not be more than 10/min. If there is no improvement trend within 2-3 days, the pump shall be stopped to check the sealing device.

Causes

Main factors causing oil seal leakage
Poor sealing of oil seal is the main factor causing oil leakage. When the shaft is worn and forms a groove, even if the oil seal is replaced with a new one, it still cannot be sealed, because the contact pressure between the oil seal lip and the shaft decreases, resulting in too little interference between the oil seal lip diameter and the shaft diameter after installation.
Taking the crankshaft oil seal of S195 diesel engine as an example, the main reasons for its untight sealing are analyzed as follows:
① Poor oil seal manufacturing quality;
② Poor shaft or bearing quality;
③ Improper use and maintenance;
④ Improper installation;
⑤ Improper storage and adverse effects caused by environmental pollution [4]
Countermeasures against oil leakage due to untight sealing of oil seal
1. Master and identify the basic knowledge of fake and inferior products, and purchase high-quality and standard oil seals.
2. During installation, if the outer surface roughness of the shaft diameter is low or there are rust spots, rust, burrs and other defects, it should be polished with fine emery cloth or oilstone; Apply clean engine oil or lubricating grease on the oil seal lip or the corresponding position of the shaft diameter. Apply sealant on the outer ring of the oil seal, and wrap the keyway on the shaft with hard paper to avoid scratching the oil seal lip. Use special tools to rotate the oil seal inward and press it in. Do not smash or punch it hard to prevent the oil seal from deforming or breaking the spring and becoming invalid; If lip flanging, spring falling off and oil seal deflection occur, it must be removed and reinstalled. It should be noted that when the shaft diameter is not worn and the oil seal spring has sufficient force, do not tighten the inner spring without authorization [4]
3. The oil seal applied to machinery shall be inspected, maintained and maintained frequently when its working conditions are generally bad, the ambient temperature difference is large, there is much dust, and the mechanical conditions of the parts are constantly changing due to frequent vibration of machines and tools.
4. If the shaft diameter and bearing are seriously worn; Oil seal rubber ageing Or spring failure, repair and replace corresponding parts in time.
5. The abnormal heating parts or assemblies shall be eliminated in time; Avoid mechanical overspeed and overload operation to prevent oil seal lip temperature rise, rubber aging, lip early wear, etc.
6. Check the oil level frequently. If there are too many impurities in the oil and there are alloy powder and metal iron filings, replace the oil thoroughly. The brand and quality of the oil changed should meet the requirements of the season. It is recommended to add Metre Super in the engine oil sealant & lubricant , it is an excellent gearbox additive An inert material film can be formed on the components, which can slow down the oil seal leakage, extend the service life of the oil seal gear, and also reduce the noise of the gear box. The use of this Metre super seal lubricant will not pollute or deteriorate the oil products.

① Reducer lubricating oil volume When ≤ 7 liters, the amount of lubricating oil added per liter is 20 ‐ 30ml;
② When 7 ‐ 15L is added, 15 ‐ 20ml is added for each liter of lubricating oil;
③ When>15 liters, add 10ml per liter of lubricating oil;
7. The oil seal that is not used temporarily shall be kept properly to prevent oil stain, dust or sun exposure.
8. When the shaft diameter is worn into a "V" shaped groove, so that the contact pressure between the new oil seal lip and the shaft can not play a sealing role, the displacement method can be used to make up [4]

oil seal
1. The oil seal structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Simple oil seals can be molded at one time. Even the most complex oil seals are not complicated in manufacturing process. The metal skeleton oil seal can also form the required oil seal by stamping, bonding, inlaying, molding and other processes.
2. The oil seal is light and consumes less materials. Each oil seal is a combination of thin-walled metal parts and rubber parts, and its material consumption is very low, so the weight of each oil seal is very light.
3. The installation position of oil seal is small, the axial size is small, it is easy to process and makes the machine compact.
4. The oil seal has good sealing function and long service life. It has certain adaptability to machine vibration and spindle eccentricity.
5. The oil seal is easy to disassemble and inspect.
6. Oil seals are cheap.
