How does a duo cone seal work?
The seals are installed so that one seal is stationary while the other rotates. The lapped sealing faces slide against each other on a thin film of lubricant. This prevents oil escaping from the system while preventing contaminants from entering.
How many seal rings make up a duo cone seal?
These seals are comprised of two metal faces (which is why they are sometimes called floating face seals) and two flexible toric rings that forces those faces together so that they form a tight seal.
What is a floating seal?
Floating seal is a seal used in a rotating body exposed to silt and sand. The floating seal is a kind of a combination seal composed of high hardness cast-iron seal rings and rubber O-rings. This seal, because its metal seal rings slide across each other, has great durability against the wear by silt and sand.
What is metal face seal?
Competitive range of quality products. Mechanical Face Seals are specifically engineered for rotating applications in extremely arduous environments where they withstand severe wear and prevent ingress of harsh and abrasive external media.
What are duo cone seals made of?
SAP creates high quality duo cone seals, also known as mechanical face seals. These are made in cast or forged materials with silicone, NBS, or HNBR elastomers. This guarantees a long-lasting, quality seal for even the most demanding applications.
Where are duo cone seals used?
Duo-cone seals (also known as mechanical face seals) are mechanical seals used to keep the oil within your final drive motor, as well as keep damaging contamination outside.
How do face seals work?
Each half has a seal ring and toric elastomeric ring, which acts as a secondary sealing element. One face of the seal ring has been precision ground/lapped to mate with the matching face on the opposite seal ring. The elastomeric ring forces the two seals halves together, thus providing the seal.
What is a duo cone seal?
Duo-cone seals (also known as mechanical face seals) are mechanical seals used to keep the oil within your final drive motor, as well as keep damaging contamination outside. That life span can be extended by carefully cleaning out debris from around the face seal using a hose or pressure washer.
What components Use metal face seals?
These applications include:
- all types of mixers.
- sand treatment equipment.
- conveyors and other construction equipment.
- agricultural machinery.
- washing equipment.
- grinding mills and other pulverizing equipment.
- ore dressing equipment.
- mining equipment.
Which is better cat duo cone or Dual Face seals?
Cat Duo-Cone seals require less space radially and Heavy Duty Dual Face seals require less space axially in a housing . Cat Duo-Cone seals incorporate a round toric while Cat Heavy Duty Dual Face seals have a trapezoidal Belleville Washer . Protecting Products Cat Seals provide protection for internal working
What kind of toric does a cat duo cone seal use?
Cat Duo-Cone seals incorporate a round toric while Cat Heavy Duty Dual Face seals have a trapezoidal Belleville Washer . Protecting Products Cat Seals provide protection for internal working components like bearings and gears in abrasive applications and permit the use of oil as a lubricant
Where are the insert members in a seal assembly?
A seal assembly has a pair of duo-cone seals positioned by a like pair of torics for axial loading. An insert member of flexible material is located within the member defining one of a pair of confronting inclined surfaces operatively containing the torics. The flexible insert members are not susceptible of oxidation when exposed to the atmosphere.
How does a rotatable face seal assembly work?
The invention takes the form of a rotatable face seal assembly having resilient torics disposed between confronting inclined loading surfaces of a ring seal and an insert member of flexible material which is positioned within an accommodating cavity. The insert member is of non-oxidizing material such as rubber or plastic.
