Leakage control of medium to high pressure on rotary equipment is one of the most challenging sealing applications. …More Info Under higher pressure, the sliding contact area between the seal lip and the shaft will generate much higher friction, heat and wear of the seal lip than under zero system pressure, causing premature or catastrophic seal failure in a very short period of time when using rotary seals not specifically designed for higher pressures. Special attention must be paid to the selection of a suitable seal design and appropriate seal material.
