Gleitringdichtung mit Rückförderwirkung

摘要

In order to return the fluid which has penetrated into the sealing gap of a floating ring seal, recesses with closed edges are machined inside the region permanently covered by the sealing surfaces in a sealing ring in which the fluid is drawn to an end of the recess very close to the chamber to be sealed and hydrodynamically taken to a high pressure. Mirror-image recesses are effective regardless of the direction of rotation. The recesses are machined in very small sliding surfaces of ceramic sealing rings using a laser beam. Such a floating ring seal has a relatively low leakage rate with low friction. Two fluids can be mutually sealed with a double recess array.
