ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a hydrodynamically lubricated interference type rotary shaft seal suitable for environmental exclusion and high pressure lubricant retention which incorporates an environment-side groove to control and minimize interfacial contact pressure at the dynamic sealing interface, which permits optimum hydrodynamic film thickness, thereby significantly lowering the self-generated heat produced by the seal, as compared to the prior art. The cool-running nature of the present invention permits the use of higher modulus seal materials and higher surface speeds, compared to the prior art, and allows the seal to operate in applications with relatively poor heat dissipation. The controlled interfacial contact pressure of the present invention also permits effective hydrodynamic lubrication with lower viscosity lubricants, including water.
