Effect of Shaft Surface Roughness on the Performance of Radial Lip Seals

Effect of Shaft Surface Roughness on the Performance of Radial Lip Seals

Reduction of leakage from the shaft⁻radial lip seal conjunction is critical in ensuring enduring performance of entire lubrication system. This paper investigates leakage from three types of shaft surfaces, finished using different manufacturing processes. The measurement of surface topogr...
