Definitions
- the invention relates to a rotary seal arrangement, comprising a rotatably mounted machine part, a machine part that forms a bearing for the rotatably mounted machine part, wherein a first of the machine parts forms a seal-accommodating structure and the second of the machine parts has a surface forming a sealing surface, and at least one rotary seal arranged in the seal-accommodating structure.
- the rotary seal allows to seal off a high-pressure area from a low-pressure area between the machine parts.
- Rotary seals of this kind are used, for example, to seal rotary feed-throughs.
- the high-pressure area is then constituted by a rotary feed-through area between the two machine parts.
- the rotary seal is also termed a rotary feed-through seal.
- the rotary feed-through permits fluids, that is, gases or liquids, a sealed transition between a stationary machine part and a rotating machine part.
- the first machine part having the seal-accommodating structure is usually constituted as the stationary machine part and the second machine part, as a shaft mounted rotatably within it.
- Such rotary feed-throughs are used, for example, in hydraulic applications or to input hot gas for heating a roller.
- Known rotary feed-throughs seals are constituted, for example, as a sliding ring (mechanical seal) wherein the sliding ring usually has a sealing ring made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- a rotary feed-through seal is designed such that as little fluid as possible, which is under positive pressure, enters the low-pressure area from the rotary feed-through area, that is, it is subject to low leakage.
- the lower the leakage the greater the friction occurring between the sealing surface of the rotatably mounted machine part and the rotary feed-through seal.
- the wear of the rotary feed-through seal is correspondingly higher and a relatively large amount of driving energy is expended against that friction force.
- the life of such known rotary feed-through seals is therefore short.
- the object of the invention is to provide a rotary seal arrangement that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, wherein, in particular, simple mounting of the rotary seal between the machine parts is possible and entrained rotation of the sealing ring of the rotary seal is reliably avoided.
- An inventive rotary seal arrangement has a rotatably mounted machine part and a machine part that forms a bearing for the rotatably mounted machine part, wherein a first of the machine parts constitutes a seal-accommodating structure and the second of the machine parts has a surface forming a sealing surface.
- At least one rotary seal disposed in the seal-accommodating structure is provided to seal a high-pressure area against a low-pressure area between the machine parts.
- the high-pressure area is at least temporarily under positive pressure relative to the pressure of the low-pressure area.
- the rotary seal has an essentially rigid support element that is disposed essentially positionally stably with respect to the first machine part, a rubber-elastically deformable contact body in contact with the support element on the high-pressure area side, and a sealing ring that has a sealing edge and is in loose contact with the contact body.
- the sealing ring has a wide side on both sides of the sealing edge and a seal seat edge area facing away from the sealing edge.
- the wide sides are interconnected via the seal seat edge area and the contact body is disposed at least partially between one of the wide sides of the sealing ring and the support element.
- the sealing surface is constituted as the lateral surface of a cylinder, that is, as the lateral surface of a rotating shaft
- the contact body is disposed in the axial direction, that is, the direction of the axis of rotation, of the machine part mounted rotatably between the support element and the sealing ring.
- the contact body is disposed in the radial direction, that is, perpendicular to the direction of the axis of rotation, of the machine part mounted rotatably between the support element and the sealing ring.
- the contact body does not have to be disposed completely between the support element and the sealing ring. It can also extend beyond this area. “In loose contact” means that the sealing ring is not constituted integrally with the contact body.
- the sealing ring can be pressed against the contact body by the design of the rotary seal so that its relative position with respect to the contact body is fixed by friction forces occurring between the sealing ring and the contact body.
- the sealing ring does not have to be permanently in contact with the contact body. It can be in contact with the contact body only during a period in which a high pressure above a limit value determined by the design of the rotary seal is present in the high-pressure area, that is, it is pressed onto the contact body by the high pressure.
- the relative position of the sealing ring with respect to the contact body is fixed by the friction forces occurring between the sealing ring and the contact body.
- the contact body is pressed evenly against the support element and/or can be constituted integrally with the support element. This reliably avoids entrained rotation of the sealing ring with the rotatably mounted machine part.
- the seal-accommodating structure can be constituted as a ring-shaped slot. Because no additional rigid support element has to be provided, the sealing ring and, if not integrally constituted with the support element, the contact body can simply be inserted or clamped in the seal-accommodating structure as elastically deformable parts.
- the inventive rotary seal arrangement is suitable, in particular, for rotary feed-throughs in which the second machine part is constituted as a radial shaft mounted in the first machine part, wherein the rotary seal is constituted in the shape of a ring and is disposed around the radial shaft.
- the rotary feed-through is therefore part of a pressure supply of a pressure accumulator whose pressure can be regulated and/or set as required.
- the sealing ring can be pretensioned in the radial direction toward the second machine part due to an elastic return force of the contact body. In this way, the force with which the sealing edge is pressed onto the sealing surface can be predetermined by the design of the rotary seal.
- the contact body preferably has an area that is in contact with the sealing ring in the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part on the high-pressure area side.
- the edge of the sealing ring facing radially away from the sealing surface that is, the seal seat edge area is disposed in a recess of the contact body.
- This edge then forms a type of pivot around which the sealing ring can tilt to a greater or lesser degree with alternating relative pressure differences between the high-pressure area and the low-pressure area so that the force with which the sealing edge is pressed onto the sealing surface can be dynamically adapted.
- the inventive seal arrangement is especially preferably constituted as a rotary feed-through.
- the high-pressure area is constituted by a rotary feed-through area wherein, through the rotary feed-through area, a fluid that is under a positive pressure relative to the low-pressure area can be introduced from one of the machine parts through the sealing surface into the other of the machine parts. That is, the two machine parts together form a rotary feed-through and the rotary seal is disposed between the machine parts as a rotary feed-through seal.
- the rotary feed-through area forms the high-pressure area that is at least temporarily under positive pressure relative to the pressure of the low-pressure area.
- the support element especially preferably extends, at least in a supporting area, obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part such that the sealing ring is pressed away from the sealing surface in the supporting area by the contact body. That is, the contact body is constituted such that the sealing ring with the sealing edge is pressed against internal elastic forces of the contact body toward the sealing edge when the contact body is pressed together from its sealing ring side by an applied positive pressure relative to the low-pressure area. This especially effectively reduces the frictional forces acting on the rotary feed-through seal between the sealing surface of the rotatably mounted machine part and the rotary feed-through seal.
- the sealing edge in a state without positive pressure, or a state with a pressure below a threshold value, in the rotary feed-through area, is essentially in contact with the sealing surface without a pressing force or is at a distance from the sealing surface.
- the sealing edge In a state with positive pressure, or a state with a pressure above the threshold value, in the rotary feed-through area, on the other hand, the sealing edge is in contact with the sealing surface in such a way as to provide a seal because the fluid under pressure then exerts a force component on the sealing ring acting against pressing away by the contact body.
- an increased sealing effect is only achieved by the contacting sealing lip if a relatively high pressure is applied in the rotary feed-through area, that is, if the fluid in the rotary feed-through area is under a relatively high pressure.
- the fluid is only temporarily under high pressure, or an especially high pressure is only temporarily applied to it, low friction of the rotary seal with low leakage is achieved in this way.
- the sealing edge can then only be pressed forcefully onto the sealing surface if the hot gas is pressed into the roller with high pressure, for example, to heat the roller temporarily. Only in such a heating area is rotation of the roller significantly slowed by the sealing edge pressed against the sealing surface.
- the pressure of the fluid in the rotary feed-through area will drop and the sealing edge will, for example, be lifted from the sealing surface because the sealing ring is pressed away from the sealing surface by the contact body which is, in particular, elastically pretensioned and/or pressed away.
- the sealing ring has a cross-section that is angled concavely with respect to the rotary feed-through area, a force pressing the sealing edge onto the sealing surface against the internal elastic forces of the contact body can be generated especially well by the positive pressure prevailing at least temporarily in the sealing feed-through area of the fluid.
- the rotary feed-through area of the sealing ring and the sealing surface are delimited in such a way that there is an obtuse angle between the rotary feed-through area side surface of the sealing ring and the sealing surface.
- the support element can be made of a rigid plastic or a metal, preferably of steel.
- the sealing ring can advantageously be made of PTFE, that is, polytetrafluorethylene PUR (polyurethane).
- Low-wear, rubber-elastic materials such as FKM (fluorinated elastomer), or HNBR (rubber-elastic materials) can also be used as materials for the sealing ring.
- the contact body is preferably made of elastomer. It is important that it exhibits a rubber-elastic spring behavior.

- FIGS. 8 a to 8 h show further embodiments of rotary seals of an inventive rotary seal arrangement.
- FIGS. 1 a and 1 b show cross-sections of a preferred embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement 1 .
- Rotary seals 5 are mounted between a rotatably mounted machine part 2 (shaft) and a machine part 3 that forms a bearing for the rotatably mounted machine part 2 .
- the rotary seals therefore have a ring shape that is symmetrical about the center of the ring.
- the rotatability of the shaft is symbolically shown in the figure by a curved double arrow.
- the second machine part 2 is constituted as a radial shaft mounted in the first machine part 3 , wherein the rotary seals 5 are constituted in a ring shape and are disposed around the radial shaft.
- the axis of rotational symmetry 6 of the rotary seals 5 coincides with the axis of rotation of the radial shaft.
- the machine part 3 can rotate around the machine part 2 .
- the rotary seals 5 are inserted in a seal-accommodating structure constituted by the first of the machine parts 3 .
- the seal-accommodating structure does not have to be constituted by special shaping of the internal surface of the first, that is, the stationary machine part 3 , as shown in the figure.
- the seal-accommodating structure may only be an area of surface that is not further specified, on which a rotary seal is positioned.
- the second of the machine parts 2 that is, the radial shaft in the case shown, has a surface forming a sealing surface 7 that is formed as the lateral surface of a cylinder.
- the seat of the rotary seals 5 is secured by a disk 8 , which is in turn fixed by means of a spring washer 9 engaging in a slot.
- a high-pressure area 10 constituted as a rotary feed-through area is sealed off from a low-pressure area 11 between the machine parts 2 , 3 .
- a fluid that is under positive pressure relative to the low-pressure area 11 with the low pressure PN can be introduced from the stationary machine part 3 through the sealing surface 7 into the rotatable machine part 3 .
- the low pressure PN can, for example, be standard atmospheric pressure.
- a hole 14 is provided in the stationary machine part 3 that opens into the rotary feed-through area 10 .
- the rotatable machine part 2 also has holes 14 that exit into the rotary feed-through area 10 and connect the rotary feed-through area 10 to one shaft end of the rotatable machine part 2 for leading through the fluid.
- the fluid can therefore be introduced through the holes 14 from the stationary machine part 3 into the rotatable machine part 2 , which is symbolically shown by arrows 16 in the figure.
- the fluid can also flow against the direction of the arrows 16 if required.
- Each of the rotary seals 5 is disposed mirror-symmetrically around the high-pressure area 10 , or the rotary feed-through area.
- Each of the rotary seals 5 has an essentially rigid support element 20 that is disposed essentially positionally stably with respect to the first machine part 3 , a rubber-elastically deformable contact body 21 in contact with the support element 20 on the rotary feed-through area side, and a sealing ring 23 that has a sealing edge 22 and a sealing ring 23 in loose contact with contact body 21 .
- Each of the sealing rings 23 has a wide side 24 on both sides of its sealing edge 22 and a seal seat edge area 26 facing away from the sealing edge.
- the wide sides 24 of each sealing ring 23 are interconnected via the corresponding seal seat edge area 26 and each contact body 21 is disposed between one of the wide sides 24 of each sealing ring 23 and the associated support element 20 .
- the wide sides 24 form surface areas that constitute, at least on one of the sides of the sealing edge 22 , a sufficient engagement surface for the fluid that is under pressure in the high-pressure area to press the sealing ring 23 onto the sealing surface 7 with the sealing edge 22 so as to provide a seal.
- the sealing ring 23 can, in particular, have the shape of a flat circular ring, preferably deformed concavely within itself, wherein the edge pointing radially inward constitutes the sealing edge 7 .
- the sealing rings 23 are therefore not permanently connected to the associated contact body 21 but are only in contact with it. There may also be interstices.
- the support element 20 is a component that is separate from the machine parts 2 , 3 .
- the sealing edge 22 of the sealing rings 23 is disposed in each case on a load area of each sealing ring 23 protruding toward the sealing surface 7 beyond the support element 20 and the interposed contact body 21 .
- this load area is variable in its position in the high-pressure area 10 when pressure is applied. When pressure is applied, the load area is therefore deformed in such a way that the sealing edge 22 is pressed onto the sealing surface 7 .
- the sealing rings 23 are each pressed away from the sealing surface 7 by the associated contact body 21 . This is shown symbolically by arrows 25 in the figure. Pressing away is effected by the rubber-elastic properties of the contact body 21 .
- the sealing rings 23 each have a cross-section that is angled concavely with respect to the rotary feed-through area 10 .
- the rotary feed-through area 10 is delimited by the sealing rings 23 and the sealing surface 7 in such a way that there is an obtuse angle between the rotary feed-through area side surfaces of the sealing rings 23 and the sealing surface 7 .
- the contact bodies 21 rest against each associated support element 20 .
- the two rotary seals 5 have an identical radial diameter. Accordingly, the seal-accommodating structure, into which the rotary seals 5 are mounted, also have the same inside diameter on both sides of the hole 14 in the stationary machine part 3 .
- the two rotary seals 5 each have a different radial diameter. Accordingly, the seal-accommodating structure into which the rotary seals 5 are mounted also have a different inside diameter on both sides of the hole 14 in the stationary machine part 3 , forming a step 29 of the inside diameter.
- FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement on a rotary feed-through.
- the rotary seal arrangement is essentially the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 a , which is why the relevant features are referred to with the same reference symbols.
- the contact bodies 21 of the rotary seals 5 shown in FIG. 2 each have a bulge 30 in their area adjacent to the hole 14 in the stationary machine part 3 .
- the bulges of the contact bodies 21 touch in such a way that they function as a non-return valve. If a fluid under high pressure is introduced through the hole 14 in the stationary machine part 3 in the direction of the arrow 16 , the bulges are pressed apart so that the fluid is introduced into the high-pressure area 10 . If the pressure of the fluid is reduced, the bulges 30 reclose the hole 14 in the stationary machine part 3 due to the elastic return forces of the rubber-elastic material of the contact bodies 21 .
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement.
- the rotary seal 5 of the rotary seal arrangement is disposed for sealing off a high-pressure area 10 , constituted as a rotary feed-through area, from a low-pressure area 11 on a rotary feed-through between a second machine part 2 , constituted as a rotatable shaft, and a first machine part 3 , constituted as its bearing.
- the rotary seal arrangement parts corresponding to FIG. 1 are referred to using the same reference symbols.
- the support element 20 is constituted integrally with the second machine part 2 .
- the support element 20 is constituted by the low-pressure-side edge of a slot constituting the seal-accommodating structure into which the rubber-elastic contact body 21 and the sealing ring 23 are inserted.
- the sealing ring 23 is clamped in the slot by the contact body 21 .
- the contact body 21 has an area in contact with the sealing ring 23 on the high-pressure side in the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part 2 .
- the edge of the sealing ring 23 facing radially away from the sealing surface is thus disposed in a recess of the contact body 21 .
- the sealing ring 23 is pressed firmly on the area of the contact body 21 disposed between the supporting 20 and the sealing ring 23 so that entrained rotation of the sealing ring 23 with the shaft is prevented.
- the pressing of the sealing ring 23 onto the contact body is shown symbolically in the figure by an arrow in the area of the sealing surface.
- the contact body 21 also extends in the radial direction of the rotary seal 5 between the sealing ring 23 and the seal-accommodating structure.
- the sealing ring 23 is pretensioned in the radial direction toward the second machine part 2 due to an elastic return force of the contact body 21 .
- This causes the contact body 21 , which is M-shaped in its basic shape, to be pressed with its upper two ends 60 that are pointed when uncompressed into the slot base of the slot. For that reason, the two ends 60 are shown rounded in the figure.
- the flexible mounting of the sealing ring 23 in the slot provided in this way is made yet more flexible by cavities between the slot base and the contact body 21 and/or between the contact body 21 and the sealing ring. Because the sealing ring 23 can easily tip over when pressure is applied, the sealing edge 22 can be flattened, or the sealing edge 22 forms two edges that seal alternatively against the sealing surface 7 , depending on the pressure applied.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement with two rotary seals 5 for sealing off a rotary feed-through in an end face of a rotatably mounted machine part 2 .
- End face refers to a side of the rotatable machine part 2 to the surface of which the axis of rotation of the rotatable machine part 2 , i.e. its axial direction, is perpendicular. Characteristics that are the same as the rotary seal arrangement of FIG. 1 a are referred to by the same reference symbols.
- the end face of the rotating machine part 2 forms the sealing surface 7 and is constituted as a circular ring area.
- the contact bodies 21 are disposed in the radial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part 2 between the corresponding support element 20 and each sealing ring 23 .
- the stationary machine part 3 has, on both sides of a hole 14 for a fluid supply, a ring-shaped slot as a seal-accommodating structure into which the rotary seals 5 are inserted.
- a notch 32 is provided into which, in each case, a projection 33 provided on the support elements 20 engages, whereby the rotary seals 5 are fixed in their position axially with respect to the rotary machine part 2 .
- FIGS. 5 a to 5 e show axial cross-sections of different embodiments of rotary seals of an inventive rotary seal arrangement.
- the embodiments are essentially the same as the rotary seal according to FIG. 1 . For this reason, only special details will be described here.
- the rotary seal arrangement parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are referred to by the same reference symbols.
- the contact bodies 21 of the rotary seals shown each have a foot-like widened section on the seal-accommodating structure side.
- the contact body extends in the radial direction of the rotary seal 5 between the sealing ring 23 and the seal-accommodating structure, and the contact body 21 has an area in contact with the sealing ring 23 in the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part 2 on the high-pressure area side.
- the latter area extends different distances toward the sealing edge.
- the edge of the sealing ring 23 facing radially away from the sealing surface is thus disposed in a recess of the contact body 21 .
- the contact bodies 21 each have at least one end 60 coming to a point on the sealing accommodating side. These ends 60 are pressed onto the seal-accommodating structure in such a way that the contact body 21 is elastically deformed, providing pretensioning of the sealing ring 23 . This is symbolized by the dashed-line representation of the ends 60 . In this way, the edge of the sealing ring 23 facing radially away from the sealing surface is also elastically clamped in the recess in the contact body 21 in each case. In FIG. 5 b , this is effected by an edge 70 bridging a space.
- the rotary seals differ further in the shaping of the support elements 20 , the sealing rings 23 , and the areas of the contact bodies 21 between them.
- the support elements 20 , the sealing rings 23 and the areas of the contact bodies 21 between them each have a cross-section that is angled concavely with respect to the high-pressure area.
- the area of the contact body 21 disposed between the support element 20 and the sealing ring 23 becomes conically wider toward the sealing edge.
- the cross-section of the support element 20 , of the sealing ring 23 , and of the area of the contact body 21 between them are not angled.
- the sealing ring 23 is pretensioned in the radial direction toward the second machine part 2 , which is not shown, due to an elastic return force of the contact body 21 .
- the support element 20 extends obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part (not shown) at least in a respective supporting area

Abstract
A rotary seal arrangement has a rotatably mounted machine part and a machine part that forms a bearing for the rotatably mounted machine part. One of the machine parts forms a seal accommodating structure and the other one of the machine parts has a surface forming a sealing surface. At least one rotary seal is arranged in the seal accommodating structure. The rotary seal seals off a high-pressure area from a low-pressure area between the machine parts.
Description
- The invention relates to a rotary seal arrangement, comprising a rotatably mounted machine part, a machine part that forms a bearing for the rotatably mounted machine part, wherein a first of the machine parts forms a seal-accommodating structure and the second of the machine parts has a surface forming a sealing surface, and at least one rotary seal arranged in the seal-accommodating structure. The rotary seal allows to seal off a high-pressure area from a low-pressure area between the machine parts.
- Rotary seals of this kind are used, for example, to seal rotary feed-throughs. The high-pressure area is then constituted by a rotary feed-through area between the two machine parts. The rotary seal is also termed a rotary feed-through seal. The rotary feed-through permits fluids, that is, gases or liquids, a sealed transition between a stationary machine part and a rotating machine part. The first machine part having the seal-accommodating structure is usually constituted as the stationary machine part and the second machine part, as a shaft mounted rotatably within it. Such rotary feed-throughs are used, for example, in hydraulic applications or to input hot gas for heating a roller.
- Known rotary feed-throughs seals are constituted, for example, as a sliding ring (mechanical seal) wherein the sliding ring usually has a sealing ring made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
- An example of such a rotary feed-through seal is described in DE 10 2007 062 470 A1. A rotary feed-through seal is designed such that as little fluid as possible, which is under positive pressure, enters the low-pressure area from the rotary feed-through area, that is, it is subject to low leakage. However, the lower the leakage, the greater the friction occurring between the sealing surface of the rotatably mounted machine part and the rotary feed-through seal. The wear of the rotary feed-through seal is correspondingly higher and a relatively large amount of driving energy is expended against that friction force. In particular, when shafts rotate at high speeds and with fluids under high pressure, the life of such known rotary feed-through seals is therefore short.
- Moreover, entrained rotation of the rotary seal with the shaft must be avoided. This is frequently achieved by pressing the sealing ring into a holding element that is also ring-shaped and is made, for example, of steel. The holding element is mounted torsionally rigidly in the seal-accommodating structure. However, such a rotary feed-through seal is relatively complicated to manufacture. For torsionally rigid mounting, an anti-rotation element must be provided on the seal-accommodating structure and/or the holding element must be pressed into the seal-accommodating structure. Mounting in a simple slot, functioning as the seal-accommodating structure, is not possible because of the rigidity of the holding element.
- The object of the invention is to provide a rotary seal arrangement that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, wherein, in particular, simple mounting of the rotary seal between the machine parts is possible and entrained rotation of the sealing ring of the rotary seal is reliably avoided.
- This task is solved by the elements of the independent claims. The dependent claims disclose preferred embodiments of the invention.
- An inventive rotary seal arrangement has a rotatably mounted machine part and a machine part that forms a bearing for the rotatably mounted machine part, wherein a first of the machine parts constitutes a seal-accommodating structure and the second of the machine parts has a surface forming a sealing surface. At least one rotary seal disposed in the seal-accommodating structure is provided to seal a high-pressure area against a low-pressure area between the machine parts. The high-pressure area is at least temporarily under positive pressure relative to the pressure of the low-pressure area.
- According to the invention, the rotary seal has an essentially rigid support element that is disposed essentially positionally stably with respect to the first machine part, a rubber-elastically deformable contact body in contact with the support element on the high-pressure area side, and a sealing ring that has a sealing edge and is in loose contact with the contact body.
- The sealing ring has a wide side on both sides of the sealing edge and a seal seat edge area facing away from the sealing edge. The wide sides are interconnected via the seal seat edge area and the contact body is disposed at least partially between one of the wide sides of the sealing ring and the support element.
- If the sealing surface is constituted as the lateral surface of a cylinder, that is, as the lateral surface of a rotating shaft, the contact body is disposed in the axial direction, that is, the direction of the axis of rotation, of the machine part mounted rotatably between the support element and the sealing ring.
- If the sealing surface is constituted as a circle area or a circular ring area, that is, as an end face surface of a rotating shaft, the contact body is disposed in the radial direction, that is, perpendicular to the direction of the axis of rotation, of the machine part mounted rotatably between the support element and the sealing ring.
- The contact body does not have to be disposed completely between the support element and the sealing ring. It can also extend beyond this area. “In loose contact” means that the sealing ring is not constituted integrally with the contact body. The sealing ring can be pressed against the contact body by the design of the rotary seal so that its relative position with respect to the contact body is fixed by friction forces occurring between the sealing ring and the contact body. The sealing ring does not have to be permanently in contact with the contact body. It can be in contact with the contact body only during a period in which a high pressure above a limit value determined by the design of the rotary seal is present in the high-pressure area, that is, it is pressed onto the contact body by the high pressure.
- Due to the at least temporary pressing of the sealing ring against the rubber-elastic contact body, the relative position of the sealing ring with respect to the contact body is fixed by the friction forces occurring between the sealing ring and the contact body. The contact body is pressed evenly against the support element and/or can be constituted integrally with the support element. This reliably avoids entrained rotation of the sealing ring with the rotatably mounted machine part.
- Simple mounting of the rotary seal is possible, in particular, if the support element is constituted integrally with the first machine part as part of the seal-accommodating structure. The seal-accommodating structure can be constituted as a ring-shaped slot. Because no additional rigid support element has to be provided, the sealing ring and, if not integrally constituted with the support element, the contact body can simply be inserted or clamped in the seal-accommodating structure as elastically deformable parts.
- The inventive rotary seal arrangement is suitable, in particular, for rotary feed-throughs in which the second machine part is constituted as a radial shaft mounted in the first machine part, wherein the rotary seal is constituted in the shape of a ring and is disposed around the radial shaft. The rotary feed-through is therefore part of a pressure supply of a pressure accumulator whose pressure can be regulated and/or set as required.
- If the contact body extends in the radial direction of the rotary seal between the sealing ring and the seal-accommodating structure, the sealing ring can be pretensioned in the radial direction toward the second machine part due to an elastic return force of the contact body. In this way, the force with which the sealing edge is pressed onto the sealing surface can be predetermined by the design of the rotary seal.
- The contact body preferably has an area that is in contact with the sealing ring in the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part on the high-pressure area side. In this way, the edge of the sealing ring facing radially away from the sealing surface, that is, the seal seat edge area is disposed in a recess of the contact body. This edge then forms a type of pivot around which the sealing ring can tilt to a greater or lesser degree with alternating relative pressure differences between the high-pressure area and the low-pressure area so that the force with which the sealing edge is pressed onto the sealing surface can be dynamically adapted.
- The inventive seal arrangement is especially preferably constituted as a rotary feed-through. In this case, the high-pressure area is constituted by a rotary feed-through area wherein, through the rotary feed-through area, a fluid that is under a positive pressure relative to the low-pressure area can be introduced from one of the machine parts through the sealing surface into the other of the machine parts. That is, the two machine parts together form a rotary feed-through and the rotary seal is disposed between the machine parts as a rotary feed-through seal. The rotary feed-through area forms the high-pressure area that is at least temporarily under positive pressure relative to the pressure of the low-pressure area.
- The support element especially preferably extends, at least in a supporting area, obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part such that the sealing ring is pressed away from the sealing surface in the supporting area by the contact body. That is, the contact body is constituted such that the sealing ring with the sealing edge is pressed against internal elastic forces of the contact body toward the sealing edge when the contact body is pressed together from its sealing ring side by an applied positive pressure relative to the low-pressure area. This especially effectively reduces the frictional forces acting on the rotary feed-through seal between the sealing surface of the rotatably mounted machine part and the rotary feed-through seal.
- In this way, it can be achieved that in a state without positive pressure, or a state with a pressure below a threshold value, in the rotary feed-through area, the sealing edge is essentially in contact with the sealing surface without a pressing force or is at a distance from the sealing surface. In a state with positive pressure, or a state with a pressure above the threshold value, in the rotary feed-through area, on the other hand, the sealing edge is in contact with the sealing surface in such a way as to provide a seal because the fluid under pressure then exerts a force component on the sealing ring acting against pressing away by the contact body. Therefore, an increased sealing effect is only achieved by the contacting sealing lip if a relatively high pressure is applied in the rotary feed-through area, that is, if the fluid in the rotary feed-through area is under a relatively high pressure. Because in very many applications of rotary feed-throughs, the fluid is only temporarily under high pressure, or an especially high pressure is only temporarily applied to it, low friction of the rotary seal with low leakage is achieved in this way. For example, if the fluid is a hot gas used to heat a roller, the sealing edge can then only be pressed forcefully onto the sealing surface if the hot gas is pressed into the roller with high pressure, for example, to heat the roller temporarily. Only in such a heating area is rotation of the roller significantly slowed by the sealing edge pressed against the sealing surface. If no hot gas is currently being pressed in, for example, because the operating temperature of the roller has been reached, the pressure of the fluid in the rotary feed-through area will drop and the sealing edge will, for example, be lifted from the sealing surface because the sealing ring is pressed away from the sealing surface by the contact body which is, in particular, elastically pretensioned and/or pressed away.
- If the sealing ring has a cross-section that is angled concavely with respect to the rotary feed-through area, a force pressing the sealing edge onto the sealing surface against the internal elastic forces of the contact body can be generated especially well by the positive pressure prevailing at least temporarily in the sealing feed-through area of the fluid. The rotary feed-through area of the sealing ring and the sealing surface are delimited in such a way that there is an obtuse angle between the rotary feed-through area side surface of the sealing ring and the sealing surface.
- The support element can be made of a rigid plastic or a metal, preferably of steel. The sealing ring can advantageously be made of PTFE, that is, polytetrafluorethylene PUR (polyurethane). Low-wear, rubber-elastic materials such as FKM (fluorinated elastomer), or HNBR (rubber-elastic materials) can also be used as materials for the sealing ring. The contact body is preferably made of elastomer. It is important that it exhibits a rubber-elastic spring behavior.
- If two rotary seals are preferably disposed mirror-symmetrically around the, or a, rotary feed-through area, the rotary feed-through area is reliably sealed off on both sides.
- The invention is explained in more detail below based on examples with reference to the drawings. The drawings each show a cross-section oriented axially with respect to the rotatably mounted machine part, wherein only an upper half of the seal arrangement is shown in each case.

-
FIGS. 1 a and 1 b show cross-sections of a preferred embodiment of an inventiverotary seal arrangement 1.Rotary seals 5 are mounted between a rotatably mounted machine part 2 (shaft) and amachine part 3 that forms a bearing for the rotatably mountedmachine part 2. The rotary seals therefore have a ring shape that is symmetrical about the center of the ring. The rotatability of the shaft is symbolically shown in the figure by a curved double arrow. Thesecond machine part 2 is constituted as a radial shaft mounted in thefirst machine part 3, wherein the rotary seals 5 are constituted in a ring shape and are disposed around the radial shaft. The axis ofrotational symmetry 6 of the rotary seals 5 coincides with the axis of rotation of the radial shaft. - Alternatively, the
machine part 3 can rotate around themachine part 2. - The rotary seals 5 are inserted in a seal-accommodating structure constituted by the first of the
machine parts 3. The seal-accommodating structure does not have to be constituted by special shaping of the internal surface of the first, that is, thestationary machine part 3, as shown in the figure. The seal-accommodating structure may only be an area of surface that is not further specified, on which a rotary seal is positioned. The second of themachine parts 2, that is, the radial shaft in the case shown, has a surface forming a sealingsurface 7 that is formed as the lateral surface of a cylinder. The seat of the rotary seals 5 is secured by adisk 8, which is in turn fixed by means of aspring washer 9 engaging in a slot. - By means of the rotary seals 5, a high-
pressure area 10 constituted as a rotary feed-through area is sealed off from a low-pressure area 11 between themachine parts area 10, a fluid that is under positive pressure relative to the low-pressure area 11 with the low pressure PN can be introduced from thestationary machine part 3 through the sealingsurface 7 into therotatable machine part 3. The low pressure PN can, for example, be standard atmospheric pressure. For this purpose, ahole 14 is provided in thestationary machine part 3 that opens into the rotary feed-througharea 10. Therotatable machine part 2 also hasholes 14 that exit into the rotary feed-througharea 10 and connect the rotary feed-througharea 10 to one shaft end of therotatable machine part 2 for leading through the fluid. The fluid can therefore be introduced through theholes 14 from thestationary machine part 3 into therotatable machine part 2, which is symbolically shown byarrows 16 in the figure. The fluid can also flow against the direction of thearrows 16 if required. - Two
rotary seals 5 are disposed mirror-symmetrically around the high-pressure area 10, or the rotary feed-through area. Each of the rotary seals 5 has an essentiallyrigid support element 20 that is disposed essentially positionally stably with respect to thefirst machine part 3, a rubber-elasticallydeformable contact body 21 in contact with thesupport element 20 on the rotary feed-through area side, and a sealingring 23 that has a sealingedge 22 and a sealingring 23 in loose contact withcontact body 21. - Each of the sealing rings 23 has a
wide side 24 on both sides of its sealingedge 22 and a sealseat edge area 26 facing away from the sealing edge. Thewide sides 24 of each sealingring 23 are interconnected via the corresponding sealseat edge area 26 and eachcontact body 21 is disposed between one of thewide sides 24 of each sealingring 23 and the associatedsupport element 20. Thewide sides 24 form surface areas that constitute, at least on one of the sides of the sealingedge 22, a sufficient engagement surface for the fluid that is under pressure in the high-pressure area to press the sealingring 23 onto the sealingsurface 7 with the sealingedge 22 so as to provide a seal. The sealingring 23 can, in particular, have the shape of a flat circular ring, preferably deformed concavely within itself, wherein the edge pointing radially inward constitutes the sealingedge 7. - The sealing rings 23 are therefore not permanently connected to the associated
contact body 21 but are only in contact with it. There may also be interstices. Thesupport element 20 is a component that is separate from themachine parts edge 22 of the sealing rings 23 is disposed in each case on a load area of each sealingring 23 protruding toward the sealingsurface 7 beyond thesupport element 20 and the interposedcontact body 21. In particular, this load area is variable in its position in the high-pressure area 10 when pressure is applied. When pressure is applied, the load area is therefore deformed in such a way that the sealingedge 22 is pressed onto the sealingsurface 7. - The sealing rings 23 are each pressed away from the sealing
surface 7 by the associatedcontact body 21. This is shown symbolically byarrows 25 in the figure. Pressing away is effected by the rubber-elastic properties of thecontact body 21. The sealing rings 23 each have a cross-section that is angled concavely with respect to the rotary feed-througharea 10. The rotary feed-througharea 10 is delimited by the sealing rings 23 and the sealingsurface 7 in such a way that there is an obtuse angle between the rotary feed-through area side surfaces of the sealing rings 23 and the sealingsurface 7. Thecontact bodies 21 rest against each associatedsupport element 20. - If a fluid under high pressure PH is introduced into the rotary feed-through
area 10, as shown by the curved arrows in the figure, a force is exerted on the rotary feed-through area side surfaces of the sealing rings 23. This force presses thecontact bodies 21 together against their internal rubber-elastic return forces which press the sealingring 23 away from the sealingsurface 7. This presses the sealing edges 22 onto the sealingsurface 7 in such a way that the rotary feed-througharea 10 is sealed essentially without leakage against the low-pressure area 11. - In the seal arrangement shown in
FIG. 1 a, the tworotary seals 5 have an identical radial diameter. Accordingly, the seal-accommodating structure, into which the rotary seals 5 are mounted, also have the same inside diameter on both sides of thehole 14 in thestationary machine part 3. - In
FIG. 1 b, the tworotary seals 5 each have a different radial diameter. Accordingly, the seal-accommodating structure into which the rotary seals 5 are mounted also have a different inside diameter on both sides of thehole 14 in thestationary machine part 3, forming astep 29 of the inside diameter. -
FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement on a rotary feed-through. The rotary seal arrangement is essentially the same as the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 a, which is why the relevant features are referred to with the same reference symbols. Unlike the embodiment inFIG. 1 a, thecontact bodies 21 of the rotary seals 5 shown inFIG. 2 each have abulge 30 in their area adjacent to thehole 14 in thestationary machine part 3. The bulges of thecontact bodies 21 touch in such a way that they function as a non-return valve. If a fluid under high pressure is introduced through thehole 14 in thestationary machine part 3 in the direction of thearrow 16, the bulges are pressed apart so that the fluid is introduced into the high-pressure area 10. If the pressure of the fluid is reduced, thebulges 30 reclose thehole 14 in thestationary machine part 3 due to the elastic return forces of the rubber-elastic material of thecontact bodies 21. -
FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement. As inFIG. 1 , therotary seal 5 of the rotary seal arrangement is disposed for sealing off a high-pressure area 10, constituted as a rotary feed-through area, from a low-pressure area 11 on a rotary feed-through between asecond machine part 2, constituted as a rotatable shaft, and afirst machine part 3, constituted as its bearing. In the figure, the rotary seal arrangement parts corresponding toFIG. 1 are referred to using the same reference symbols. - Unlike the embodiment in
FIG. 1 , thesupport element 20 is constituted integrally with thesecond machine part 2. Thesupport element 20 is constituted by the low-pressure-side edge of a slot constituting the seal-accommodating structure into which the rubber-elastic contact body 21 and the sealingring 23 are inserted. - The sealing
ring 23 is clamped in the slot by thecontact body 21. Thecontact body 21 has an area in contact with the sealingring 23 on the high-pressure side in the axial direction of the rotatably mountedmachine part 2. The edge of the sealingring 23 facing radially away from the sealing surface is thus disposed in a recess of thecontact body 21. At least when a sufficient positive pressure is applied in the high-pressure area 10, the sealingring 23 is pressed firmly on the area of thecontact body 21 disposed between the supporting 20 and the sealingring 23 so that entrained rotation of the sealingring 23 with the shaft is prevented. The pressing of the sealingring 23 onto the contact body is shown symbolically in the figure by an arrow in the area of the sealing surface. - The
contact body 21 also extends in the radial direction of therotary seal 5 between the sealingring 23 and the seal-accommodating structure. The sealingring 23 is pretensioned in the radial direction toward thesecond machine part 2 due to an elastic return force of thecontact body 21. This causes thecontact body 21, which is M-shaped in its basic shape, to be pressed with its upper two ends 60 that are pointed when uncompressed into the slot base of the slot. For that reason, the two ends 60 are shown rounded in the figure. The flexible mounting of the sealingring 23 in the slot provided in this way is made yet more flexible by cavities between the slot base and thecontact body 21 and/or between thecontact body 21 and the sealing ring. Because the sealingring 23 can easily tip over when pressure is applied, the sealingedge 22 can be flattened, or the sealingedge 22 forms two edges that seal alternatively against the sealingsurface 7, depending on the pressure applied. -
FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of an inventive rotary seal arrangement with tworotary seals 5 for sealing off a rotary feed-through in an end face of a rotatably mountedmachine part 2. End face refers to a side of therotatable machine part 2 to the surface of which the axis of rotation of therotatable machine part 2, i.e. its axial direction, is perpendicular. Characteristics that are the same as the rotary seal arrangement ofFIG. 1 a are referred to by the same reference symbols. The end face of therotating machine part 2 forms the sealingsurface 7 and is constituted as a circular ring area. Thecontact bodies 21 are disposed in the radial direction of the rotatably mountedmachine part 2 between thecorresponding support element 20 and each sealingring 23. Thestationary machine part 3 has, on both sides of ahole 14 for a fluid supply, a ring-shaped slot as a seal-accommodating structure into which the rotary seals 5 are inserted. On each of the slot edges of the slots facing away from the hole, anotch 32 is provided into which, in each case, aprojection 33 provided on thesupport elements 20 engages, whereby the rotary seals 5 are fixed in their position axially with respect to therotary machine part 2. -
FIGS. 5 a to 5 e show axial cross-sections of different embodiments of rotary seals of an inventive rotary seal arrangement. The embodiments are essentially the same as the rotary seal according toFIG. 1 . For this reason, only special details will be described here. In the figures, the rotary seal arrangement parts corresponding to those inFIG. 1 are referred to by the same reference symbols. Thecontact bodies 21 of the rotary seals shown each have a foot-like widened section on the seal-accommodating structure side. The contact body extends in the radial direction of therotary seal 5 between the sealingring 23 and the seal-accommodating structure, and thecontact body 21 has an area in contact with the sealingring 23 in the axial direction of the rotatably mountedmachine part 2 on the high-pressure area side. The latter area extends different distances toward the sealing edge. The edge of the sealingring 23 facing radially away from the sealing surface is thus disposed in a recess of thecontact body 21. - The
contact bodies 21 each have at least oneend 60 coming to a point on the sealing accommodating side. These ends 60 are pressed onto the seal-accommodating structure in such a way that thecontact body 21 is elastically deformed, providing pretensioning of the sealingring 23. This is symbolized by the dashed-line representation of the ends 60. In this way, the edge of the sealingring 23 facing radially away from the sealing surface is also elastically clamped in the recess in thecontact body 21 in each case. InFIG. 5 b, this is effected by anedge 70 bridging a space. The rotary seals differ further in the shaping of thesupport elements 20, the sealing rings 23, and the areas of thecontact bodies 21 between them. - In
FIGS. 5 a to 5 e, thesupport elements 20, the sealing rings 23 and the areas of thecontact bodies 21 between them each have a cross-section that is angled concavely with respect to the high-pressure area. In this case, in the embodiments ofFIGS. 5 c to 5 e, the area of thecontact body 21 disposed between thesupport element 20 and the sealingring 23 becomes conically wider toward the sealing edge. InFIG. 5 f, on the other hand, the cross-section of thesupport element 20, of the sealingring 23, and of the area of thecontact body 21 between them are not angled. - All the embodiments shown have the common feature that, in each case, the sealing
ring 23 is pretensioned in the radial direction toward thesecond machine part 2, which is not shown, due to an elastic return force of thecontact body 21. Because thesupport element 20 extends obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the rotatably mounted machine part (not shown) at least in a respective supporting area, thecontact body 21 is pressed together in this area between thesupport element 20 and the sealing ring due to this pretensioning. This in turn presses the sealingring 23 in the supporting area away from the sealing surface due to thecontact body 21. Thecontact body 21 is disposed in each respective supporting area radially between eachsupport element 20 and the associated sealingring 23. -
FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of thecontact body 21 of an inventive rotary seal arrangement in an axially oriented plan view. It therefore shows the surface of thecontact body 21 on the sealing ring side. The contact body can also have flat surfaces on the sealing ring side; in this embodiment, however, the surface hasprojections 80 toward the sealing ring so that a distance between thecontact body 21 and the sealing ring is retained when thecontact body 21 is compressed. -
FIG. 7 shows an axial cross-section of a further embodiment of an inventive rotary seal similar to the rotary seal inFIG. 3 . The two pointed ends 60 of thecontact body 21 provided for compression and adistance 85 on both sides between thecontact body 21 and the sealingring 23 can be seen. Thedistances 85 can be filled after insertion of thecontact body 21 and of the sealing ring into a slot of a seal-accommodating structure due to axial compression of thecontact body 21, whereby the sealingring 23 of thecontact body 21 can be securely clamped. -
FIGS. 8 a to 8 h show axial cross-sections of various embodiments ofrotary seals 5 of an inventive rotary seal arrangement. The rotary seals 5 of each rotary seal arrangement are each disposed in a seal accommodation structure constituted as a slot, of astationary machine part 3 and each seal a respective sealing surface of arotating machine part 2 constituted as the lateral surface of a cylinder.
