OBS

The sealing properties of flocked seals are particularly good against dry impurities such as soil, sand or cement dust but they also provide very good protection against mud and clay.

OBS

Seal covered with fibres which have good wear resistance and are able to absorb grease.

Record 6 1981-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
OBS

The efficiency of an open gap-type seal is, to a high degree, dependent on the presence of grease in the gap. The grease forms a more or less solid mass in combination with foreign matter and becomes self-sealing. This prevents further penetration of impurities towards the bearing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
OBS

L'efficacité d'un dispositif d'étanchéité par passage étroit dépend essentiellement de la présence de graisse dans ce passage. La graisse forme avec les impuretés une masse plus ou moins solide qui obture d'elle-même le passage. Les corps étrangers ne peuvent donc plus pénétrer dans le roulement.
