EVALUATING DUST EXCLUSION FOR ROTATING SHAFT SEAL APPLICATIONS

The effectiveness of a given dual lip design in elastomeric radial lip seals was studied as compared to the single lip design. Among the tests conducted were those of temperature effects and dust ingestion, and life tests. Under the given test conditions, the single lip design out-performed the dual lip design, with better retention of lubricants and exclusion of dust.
