Top rated scraper seals provider: Mechanical seals often need to be used in chemical applications. When confronted with some harsh chemicals, mechanical seals containing elastomers made of Viton, Kalrez or Chemrez can’t hold up. Because PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)or as most people know it Teflon ® , has a 0-14 ph range it usually will hold up. Like most materials every choice has an up and a down side. Because PTFE will handle most chemical applications, chemical attack is no longer an issue. One the down side PTFE wedges can cause fretting of your sleeve or shaft if you have not hard surfaced your shaft or sleeve (plasma coating). The stationary element of your seal will require a PTFE gasket. It’s not much good to have a PTFE on the rotary and then use an elastomer on the seat. We have seen it done, and because it is a static application some have gotten away with it, but it is not recommended. Most commonly the seat will be a L-shaped or Clamped mount style to allow space for a PTFE gasket to be used as the secondary sealing element. Read more details on spring seals.
Before examining how mechanical seals function it is important to understand other methods of forming this seal. One such method still widely used is Gland Packing. Gland packing is a braided, rope like material that is packed around the shaft – physically stuffing the gap between the shaft and the pump housing. Gland packing is still commonly used in many applications, however increasingly users are adopting mechanical seals for the following reasons; The friction of the shaft rotating wears away at the packing over time, which leads to increased leakage until the packing is adjusted or re-packed. The friction of the shaft also means that packing also needs to be flushed with large volumes of water in order to keep it cool. Packing needs to press against the shaft in order to reduce leakage – this means that the pump needs more drive power to turn the shaft, wasting energy. Because packing needs to contact the shaft it will eventually wear a groove into it, which can be costly to repair or replace.
The gasket made by DMS SEALS is uniquely mechanical and thermally stable and it has excellent oxidation resistance. Compared with other thermoplastics, it can be applied to components such as valves and bushings, with higher wear resistance, higher mechanical properties and thermal fatigue resistance. At the same time, it has excellent oil resistance (alkane oil), heat resistance, water resistance, aging resistance, air tightness and excellent adhesion. It is commonly used in media such as water, oil, and natural gas.
The rod seal is the most important sealing component designed by DMS SEALS in the liquid sealing application. It can effectively prevent the liquid inside the cylinder from leaking to the outside. Moreover, if there is a leakage problem in the rod seal, the performance of the equipment will be degraded. There are even some machine and human safety issues in extreme cases. This type of seal meets the standards of GB/T 15242.1-94 and GB/T 15242.3-94. It is ideal for high and low-speed reciprocating rods and rods in high-pressure system cylinders. Moreover, it can be used in a variety of fluids and high-temperature environments. It is characterized by its high corrosion resistance and its ability to work well in a corrosive media with no oil spots. It has high stability under pressure and harsh conditions. The outstanding advantages of our seals are strong wear resistance, resistance to extrusion, low friction and no stick-slip.
The selection principle of the gasket: according to the working pressure, working temperature, the corrosiveness of the sealing medium and the form of the sealing surface. Temperature influence: In normal temperature and low pressure, use non-metallic soft honey gasket; in medium pressure and high temperature, choose metal and non-metal combination gasket or metal gasket; when temperature and pressure fluctuate greatly, choose good elasticity or self-tightening type Gaskets; in low temperature, corrosive media or vacuum conditions, gaskets with special properties should be considered.
The guide belt is a belt-shaped member that guides the moving parts. Its main function is to guide. In order to realize the function of guidance, it must support the guided member, and guide and correct its motion trajectory. In order to realize the guiding function well, it also requires isolation, shock absorption and noise reduction of the guiding parts. Guide belts are mainly used in oil cylinders and cylinders. Due to their excellent performance, they are also widely used in other motion mechanisms. See more information at dmsseals.com.

Construction machinery, also known as construction machinery, is mainly used for mechanical and electrical equipment for the construction, renovation and maintenance of various buildings. Widely distributed in industrial and civil construction, urban construction, national defense construction projects, transportation construction, mining and other raw material industrial construction and production, agriculture, forestry and water conservancy construction, sanitation and environmental protection industries. It contains a wide range of types, such as excavators, loaders, cranes, pump trucks, pile drivers, hydraulic breakers, pavers, graders, rock drills, etc.
The O-ring seal, which is also called shaft seal, is noted for a reasonable compression and stretch rate to achieve a good sealing effect. It will not leak when it is sealed statically. At the same time, the O-ring size is properly matched to the groove size. The structure is simple and its installation is very close to the machine. Its most prominent advantage is its self-sealing effect, eliminating the need for periodic adjustments. We guarantee that the size and mounting grooves of all our O-rings are standardized, so they are cost-effective and easy to maintain. They have low frictional resistance and are suitable for occasions where the pressure is often alternating.
