Pan-plug sealing of double-sided spring: technical principle, application and selection

V-Ring Seal (V-ring Seal) is an efficient sealing element, widely used in a variety of mechanical equipment to ensure sealing performance and equipment stability. As an important variant of the pan-plug seal, the double-sided spring design enhances its sealing performance and adaptability. This paper will deeply discuss the technical principle, application scenario, selection criteria and the importance in industry of double-sided spring pan-plug seal.

 

1. Technical principles

The core technical principle of double-sided spring pan plug seal is to enhance the contact pressure between the sealing ring and the sealing surface through the design of double-sided spring, so as to improve the sealing performance.

 

1.1 Structural design

The double-sided spring pan plug seal consists of the following key parts:

 

Seal Lip: The part that directly contacts the sealing surface to ensure no leakage.

Dual springs: located on both sides of the seal lip to provide continuous preload.

Base: Supports the entire sealing device, usually made of a wear-resistant material.

1.2 Working mechanism

The working mechanism of the double-sided spring pan plug seal is as follows:

 

Initial installation: During initial installation, a double-sided spring applies a pretension force so that the seal lip is tightly attached to the seal surface.

Dynamic seal: During the operation of the equipment, the continuous preload of the double-sided spring ensures that the seal lip is always in close contact with the sealing surface, preventing leakage of liquid or gas.

Adaptability: The design of double-sided spring enables the sealing ring to adapt to the small deformation of the sealing surface and maintain a good sealing effect.

2. Application scenario

Double-sided spring pan plug seal is widely used in many industrial fields because of its excellent sealing performance and adaptability.

 

2.1 Hydraulic System

The double-sided spring pan seal in the hydraulic system is used to seal the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic valve to ensure the leakage free flow of high-pressure liquids. Its high pressure resistance and wear resistance make it ideal for hydraulic systems.

 

2.2 Pneumatic System

The double-sided spring pan seal in the pneumatic system is used to seal the pneumatic cylinder and the pneumatic valve, ensuring the leakage free flow of high pressure gas. Its high sealing performance and adaptability enable it to adapt to a variety of complex pneumatic environments.

 

2.3 Mechanical Equipment

Double-sided spring pan seals in mechanical equipment are used to seal rotating shafts and piston rods to prevent oil leakage and the intrusion of external impurities. Its high wear resistance and high temperature resistance ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

 

2.4 Aerospace

In the aerospace sector, double-sided spring pan seals are used to seal engines and control systems at high temperature and pressure. Its high resistance to high temperature and high pressure ensures the safety and reliability of the aircraft.

 

3. Selection criteria

The selection of a suitable double-sided spring plug seal requires consideration of several factors to ensure its performance and service life.

 

3.1 Material selection

The material selection of double-sided spring pan-plug seal needs to be carried out according to the specific working conditions:

 

Sealing lip materials: Common materials include nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), fluororubber (FKM) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Spring materials: Common materials include stainless steel and phosphor bronze, which need to be selected according to corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

Base materials: Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel and engineering plastics, which should be selected based on wear and corrosion resistance.

3.2 Performance Requirements

When choosing a double-sided spring pan plug seal, focus on the following performance indicators:

 

High temperature resistance: It is necessary to work stably in a high temperature environment for a long time, and the temperature resistance range is usually above 200 ° C.

High pressure resistance: It must be able to withstand the normal working pressure of the equipment, usually requiring a pressure resistance of more than 10MPa.

Corrosion resistance: It must be able to resist the corrosion of the working medium to ensure long-term use.

Sealing performance: It must have good sealing performance to prevent leakage of liquid or gas.

3.3 Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance of double-sided spring plugs is key to ensuring their performance:

 

Installation process: Strictly follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure the correct installation of the seal ring and spring.

Regular inspection: Regularly check the wear of seals and springs, and timely replace aging or worn parts.

4. Technical advantages

The double-sided spring plug seal has the following technical advantages over the traditional plug seal:

 

High sealing performance: The design of double-sided spring enhances the contact pressure between the sealing lip and the sealing surface, improving the sealing performance.

High adaptability: The double-sided spring design enables the sealing ring to adapt to the small deformation of the sealing surface and maintain a good sealing effect.

Long service life: the continuous preload of the double-sided spring and the design of the wear-resistant material extend the service life of the sealing ring.

conclusion

As an important variant of the pan-plug seal, the double-sided spring design enhances its sealing performance and adaptability, and is widely used in hydraulic system, pneumatic system, mechanical equipment and aerospace and other fields. The correct selection and use of double-sided spring pan plug seal can significantly improve the sealing performance and stability of the equipment, and ensure the safe operation and efficient production of industrial equipment. With the continuous development of new materials and new technologies, the performance and application of double-sided spring pan-plug seals will continue to advance to meet more complex and diverse industrial needs.
