Component Specifications

Definition
Shaft seals and bearings are precision-engineered components in rotating lobe assemblies that serve dual functions: seals prevent fluid or gas leakage along the shaft while maintaining pressure differentials, and bearings provide radial and axial support to minimize friction and maintain precise shaft alignment under operational loads.
Working Principle
Shaft seals operate on contact or non-contact principles (mechanical face seals, lip seals, labyrinth seals) to create barriers against media escape. Bearings function through rolling elements (balls, rollers) or hydrodynamic/hydrostatic films to support loads with minimal rotational resistance, ensuring stable shaft rotation within specified tolerances.
Materials
Seals: Nitrile rubber (NBR), fluoroelastomer (FKM), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), stainless steel. Bearings: Chrome steel (AISI 52100), stainless steel (AISI 440C), ceramic (silicon nitride), polymer composites (PEEK).
Technical Parameters
  • Speed Limit Up to 10,000 rpm
  • Load Capacity Dynamic: 5-50 kN, Static: 10-100 kN
  • Shaft Diameter 10-200 mm
  • Pressure Rating Up to 20 bar
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 200°C
Standards
ISO 3601-1, ISO 15242, DIN 3760, DIN 5412

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary difference between shaft seals and bearings in lobe assemblies?

Shaft seals primarily prevent fluid or gas leakage along the shaft, while bearings support the shaft mechanically to reduce friction and maintain alignment during rotation.

How do I select the right material for shaft seals in chemical applications?

Choose materials like FKM or PTFE for chemical resistance, considering temperature, pressure, and media compatibility as per ISO 3601-1 standards.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
