Abstract
A radial shaft seal has a support body and at least one sealing element that is a part produced separate from the support body and is connected to the support body by an adhesive connection. A static seal part that is a part separate from the sealing element and is arranged on a wall of the support body is provided. Alternatively, the sealing element comprises an integral static seal part and the static seal part is formed by a radially projecting edge of the holding part of the sealing element that projects radially past the wall of the support body.
Description
- The invention relates to a seal, in particular, a radial shaft seal, comprising a support body and at least one sealing element.
- For sealing rotating shafts and for sealing spaces in which pressure differences exist, radial shaft seals are used. They are comprised in general of a metallic support body, an elastomer sealing element, and a coil tension spring. When producing such radial shaft seals, first the support body is coated with a binder. Subsequently, the support body is placed into a mold into which the elastomer mixture for the sealing element is injected from the center uniformly onto all sides by means of cone gate. In order to provide a permanent connection between the support body and the sealing element, the support body is molded into the elastomer material of the sealing element in such a way that the support body is partially embedded. After injection molding, the cone gate is cut off in the area of a sealing edge. Subsequently, the tension spring is mounted. The manufacture of such a radial shaft seal is complex and requires a relatively long processing time. For example, the support body must be pre-treated with the binder so that the adhesion to the sealing element is ensured. In order for the binder not to be removed during injection molding of the sealing element in the mold, the sealing element cannot be directly injection-molded, i.e., in the direction of the support body. The injection molding process is realized by means of a centrally positioned cone that proportionally comprises about 30 percent of the entire material and, in a subsequent process step, is cut off and disposed of. In order to achieve a satisfactorily stable connection of support body and sealing element, the sealing element with the thicker cross-section is injection-molded and often encloses the support body partially. As a result of this thick cross-section, a long processing time is required in order to vulcanize the sealing element. When errors are made during the injection molding process, not only the sealing element but also the expensive metallic support body turn into rejects.
- It is an object of the present invention to configure a seal of the aforementioned kind such that it can be produced in a shorter amount of time and at reduced manufacturing costs with at least the same quality.
- This object is solved for a seal of the aforementioned kind according to the present invention in that the sealing element is produced separately as a part separate from the support body and is connected to the support body by an adhesive connection and in that the seal comprises a static seal part that is a separate part from the sealing element and is attached to the wall of the support body.
- This object is furthermore solved for a seal of the aforementioned kind according to the present invention in that the sealing element is produced separately as a part separate from the support body and is connected to the support body by an adhesive connection, and in that the sealing element is provided with an integral static seal part that is formed by a radially projecting rim of a holding part of the sealing element projecting past the wall of the support body.
- As a result of the configuration according to the invention, the sealing element is separately produced as a part independent from the support body. The sealing element is not vulcanized to the support body but is produced as a separate shaped part. Since the vulcanization step is no longer required, the previously required binder is no longer needed. The sealing element requires less material because the cone gate injection step is no longer required because a direct injection molding process is possible and because the cross-section of the sealing element according to the invention is significantly thinner in comparison to the prior art shaft seal designs. By means of the adhesive connection the sealing element can be attached simply and reliably to the support body in a short period of time. Rejects of support bodies are prevented because of the adhesive connection. Moreover, the step of cutting off the sealing edge of the sealing element is no longer needed.
- The seal according to the first embodiment has a static seal part that is separate from the sealing element. In this way, the static and the dynamic seal parts can be optimized with regard to their different sealing properties. In particular, for both seal parts the most expedient materials can be used, respectively.
- In the seal according to the second embodiment, the static and the dynamic seal parts are components of the sealing element. In this way, the seal can be produced in a simple and inexpensive way.

FIG. 2 shows a section view of a radial shaft seal according to the present invention in a second variant. -
FIG. 3 shows a section view of a radial shaft seal according to the present invention in a third variant. -
FIG. 4 shows a section view of a radial shaft seal according to the present invention in a fourth variant. - The radial shaft seals illustrated in
FIGS. 1 to 4 serve generally for sealing rotating shafts and for sealing spaces with pressure differences of various degrees. - The seal according to
FIG. 1 is comprised of asupport body 1, asealing element 2 having adynamic seal part 3 and astatic seal part 4. Thesupport body 1 is cup-shaped and made of metal, such as conventional steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, or is made of hard plastic material. Its essentiallycylindrical wall 5 passes into abottom 6 extending radially relative to the axis of the seal. Thebottom 6 has acentral opening 7 through which a shaft (not illustrated) projects when the seal is mounted. Thefree end 5′ of thewall 5 is slightly inwardly bent and forms in this way an insertion aid for mounting the seal. Approximately at half the axial length, thewall 5 has at the exterior side a receptacle in the form of acircumferential groove 16 in which thestatic seal part 4 is arranged. It is preferably configured as a sealing ring made from “loctite” material. Advantageously, thesupport body 1 is produced in a simple and inexpensive rolling or drawing process. - The sealing
element 2 is comprised preferably of rubber material and is produced as a part separate from thesupport body 1 by injection molding and subsequent vulcanization. Thesealing element 2 has a radially extending holdingpart 9 that has the shape of an annular disk and is adjoined by thedynamic seal part 3 extending at an obtuse angle relative to theholding part 9. Thedynamic seal part 3 can be provided with areturn device 11 for the fluid to be sealed (such return devices are known in the art of radial shaft seals e.g. in the form of grooves etc). Thedynamic seal part 3 extends in the same direction as thewall 5 of thesupport body 1. Thesealing element 2 has moreover aprotective lip 12 that extends in the opposite direction compared to theseal part 3 and is significantly shorter than theseal part 3, as shown inFIG. 1 . Such aprotective lip 12 is known in general in the art of radial shaft seals. It passes by means of an outwardly positionedcircumferential shoulder 13 into theholding part 9. By means of the cylindricalcircumferential shoulder 13 that serves as a centering means for the sealingelement 2, the sealingelement 2 rests against therim 15 of theopening 7. Theholding part 9 has, for example, a greater thickness than thebottom 6 of thesupport body 1, thedynamic seal part 3, and theprotective lip 12. - The
holding part 9 of thesealing element 2 is attached to theinner side 10 of thebottom 6 of thesupport body 1 by means of anadhesive connection 8. Thefree edge 17 of theholding part 9 has a spacing relative to thewall 5 of thesupport body 1. Theadhesive connection 8 has the advantage that thesealing element 2 can be produced inexpensively as a separate component in a short period of time. The sealingelement 2 must not be vulcanized to thesupport body 1. It is therefore also not necessary to employ a binder for the vulcanization process. Moreover, the sealingelement 2 can be produced with minimal material expenditure and minimal cross-sectional thickness because embedding of thesupport body 1 is not required. In this way, material costs can be reduced. Moreover, gluing the sealingelement 2 to thesupport body 1 can be realized within a very short processing time of approximately 10 seconds. As a result of the independent, separate manufacture of thesealing element 2—separate from thesupport body 1—the number of rejects are moreover significantly reduced because there is no cone gate and there is no need for cutting off the sealing edge. The problem of contamination of the sealing element by the binder applied to the support body is also avoided. - The
static seal part 4 must not be made from rubber; it can also be made from so-called “loctite” rope or string. In this way, the rubber consumption can be further reduced. - In the variant according to
FIG. 2 , thestatic seal part 4 a is formed by the sealingelement 2 itself so that a groove in thewall 5 a of thesupport body 1 a is not required. Moreover, the sealingelement 2 a is connected by anadhesive connection 8 a to theexterior side 19 of the bottom 6 a of thesupport body 1 a. The annular disk-shaped holdingpart 9 a of the sealingelement 2 a is longer than the holdingpart 9 ofFIG. 1 so that it projects radially past thewall 5 a of thesupport body 1 a. This projecting circumferential edge tapers at an acute angle outwardly and forms thestatic seal part 4 a of the sealingelement 2. The projectingcircumferential edge 4 a of the sealingelement 2 a is elastically deformed when the sealingelement 2 a is mounted and, in this way, the elastic sealing action is achieved. Since the holdingpart 9 a covers the bottom 6 a of thesupport body 1 a, the sealingelement 2 a can also be used as a corrosion protection of thesupport body 1 a. - As in the embodiment according to
FIG. 1 , thesupport body 1 a and the sealingelement 2 a are separate parts and are produced from metal or hard plastic material and rubber, respectively; they are connected to one another in an inexpensive and simple way by gluing. Because thestatic seal part 4 a must not be produced separately and must not be held in a receiving groove on thesupport body 1 a, this has moreover an advantageous effect on the manufacturing costs of the seal. The bottom 6 a of thesupport body 1 a is positioned with itsinner edge 15 a on thecylindrical shoulder 13 a between the holdingpart 9 a and thedynamic seal part 3 a of the sealingelement 2 a. - The
dynamic seal part 3 a and theprotective lip 12 a of the sealingelement 2 a are identical to the corresponding parts ofFIG. 1 . - In the seals according to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , the sealingelement 2 b is comprised of polyfluorocarbon, preferably, polytetrafluoroethylene. It is comprised of an annular disc whose radial outer area forms the holdingpart 9 b. When mounting the seal, the radial inner part is elastically bent by the shaft to be sealed to form thedynamic seal part 3 b. - The
support body 1 b is identical to thesupport body 1 according toFIG. 1 . It also has anannular groove 16 b receiving the static annular seal part. - The variants of
FIGS. 3 and 4 differ only in that, in the embodiment according toFIG. 3 , the holdingpart 9 b is glued to theinner side 10 b and, in the embodiment according toFIG. 4 , is glued to theouter side 19 b of the bottom 6 b of thesupport body 1 b (glue oradhesive layer 8 b). As in the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , the holdingparts 9 b extend only across a portion of the radial width of the bottom 6 b of thesupport body 1 b. - Since the
sealing elements 2 b are glued to thesupport body 1 b, the seals can also be produced in a simple and inexpensive way. - The seals according to
FIGS. 1 through 4 are suitable in particular as shaft seals or piston seals as they are used in machine construction, apparatus engineering, and automotive engineering. - The specification incorporates by reference the entire disclosure of German priority document 102006059397.9 having a filing date of Dec. 8, 2006.
- While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the inventive principles, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
