- FIGS. 4 and 5 the operation of the stationary sealing ring 10 and the rotating sealing ring 20 during relative rotation will be explained using FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the rotation seal ring 20 will be explained in the following order: when it is stopped, when it rotates forward, and when it rotates in reverse.
- the sealed fluid F in the Rayleigh step 18 is transferred to the sliding surface 20. Due to the shearing of the rotary sealing ring 20, the rotary sealing ring 20 follows and moves in the forward rotational direction.
- the sealed fluid F moves from the fluid guide groove part 17 toward the downstream end 18A in the relative rotation direction of the Rayleigh step 18, and the sealed fluid F moves in the direction of the arrow in the fluid guide groove part 17.
- a pulling force acts as shown in H1. Note that the flows of the sealed fluid F and the atmosphere A in FIG. 4 are schematically shown without specifying the relative rotational speed of the rotary sealing ring 20.
- the pressure of the sealed fluid F that has moved toward the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18 is increased at and near the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18. That is, positive pressure is generated at and near the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18.
- the sliding surfaces 11 and 21 are slightly separated by the force due to the positive pressure generated at and near the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18.
- the sealed fluid F flows into the space between the sliding surfaces 11 and 21 from the end portion 18A of the Rayleigh step 18 (see arrow H2) and the inner space S1 side.
- lubricity is improved even during low speed rotation, and wear between the sliding surfaces 11 and 21 can be suppressed.
- the floating distance between the sliding surfaces 11 and 21 is small, the amount of the sealed fluid F leaking into the outside space S2 is small. Further, since the fluid guide groove portion 17 is provided, a large amount of the sealed fluid F can be held, and poor lubrication during low speed rotation can be avoided.
- the sealed fluid F in the Rayleigh step 18' rotates due to shear with the sliding surface 21.
- the following movement of the sealing ring 20 in the positive rotational direction generates a relative negative pressure at and near the end 18A' of the Rayleigh step 18'. Therefore, the sealed fluid F flowing out between the sliding surfaces 11 and 21 from the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18 is collected inward from the end 18A' as shown by arrow H3.
- the dynamic pressure generation groove 13 when the relative rotation speed between the rotating seal ring 20 and the stationary seal ring 10 is low, the atmosphere A is not sufficiently dense in the dynamic pressure generation groove 13, and high positive pressure is not generated.
- the force due to the positive pressure generated by the dynamic pressure generating groove 13 is relatively smaller than the force due to the positive pressure generated at and near the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18. Therefore, when the rotary sealing ring 20 rotates at a low speed, the sliding surfaces 11 and 21 are separated from each other mainly by the force due to the positive pressure generated at and near the end 18A of the Rayleigh step 18.
- the sealed fluid F at the back pressure generating end 13D and the vicinity thereof flows into the dynamic pressure generating groove 13. It gets sucked in.
