What Is A Spring Energy Seal?

Spring energy storage sealing ring is a special mechanical part. It is an energy storage sealing ring with spring action. It can be used in various machinery and equipment to play a sealing and protection role.

First, let us understand the basic structure of spring energy sealing ring. It mainly consists of three parts: spring, sealing ring and accumulator. The spring is its core component. It has telescopic properties and can expand and contract as needed to play the role of buffering and shock absorption. seals are components used to seal gas or liquid to prevent leakage and contamination. The accumulator can store energy and release it when needed, thus playing a protective and buffering role.

So, what is the function of spring energy storage seal? It is mainly used in the following three aspects:

1. Sealing function

Spring-charged seals can effectively seal gases or liquids to prevent leakage and contamination. It has excellent sealing performance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and can be widely used in various pipelines and equipment, such as petroleum, chemical, food and other industries.

2. Shock absorption

The spring energy sealing ring has a good shock absorption effect and can effectively absorb and buffer vibrations and impacts, thereby protecting pipelines and equipment from damage. It is especially suitable for some precision equipment and instruments, such as precision machine tools, precision instruments, etc.

3. Energy storage function

The spring energy storage seal can also be used as an energy storage element to store energy and release it when needed. This energy storage function can be used in various situations that require instant high power output, such as car braking systems, aircraft takeoff and landing, etc.

In short, the spring energy sealing ring is a very useful mechanical part. It has multiple functions and uses and can be widely used in various fields. Its emergence has brought great convenience and benefits to our production and life.

The sealing ring is installed in the groove, and the spring is compressed, forming an outward tension, forcing the sealing lip to close to the sealing groove. Since the spring permanently provides elasticity to the sealing lip, it can compensate for the wear of the sealing shell and the eccentricity of the mating parts, thus forming Sealing from vacuum to low pressure range. In addition, the system pressure will assist the spring to accumulate energy. The greater the pressure, the more fully the sealing lip and the groove will fit, thus forming a high-pressure seal.

The sealing shell is made of PTFE, filled PTFE, PEEK, filled PEEK, PVDF, PPS or other high-performance polymer materials by machining. The material determines the spring energy storage seal ring is suitable for the temperature range from -268℃ to +427℃ Inside, seals almost all liquids, chemicals and gases. And it can be stored indefinitely without aging problems.

Metal springs are available in a variety of forms, including O-shaped springs, V-shaped springs, and U-shaped springs, to meet the sealing requirements of different movement forms. In some cases, O-rings of different materials can be used as elastomers instead of metal springs.
