Sealing principle
Metal spring seal is a common sealing element, and its sealing principle is based on its special structure and material advantages. Metal spring seals are usually composed of metal springs and sealing materials, spring materials can choose different metals or alloys, such as stainless steel, copper alloy, etc., sealing materials are commonly used rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other high temperature and corrosion resistant materials.
Its sealing principle mainly includes the following aspects:
Elastic deformation: The metal spring has good elasticity and can adapt to the irregular sealing surface by compression or extension.
Preloading effect: During installation, the metal spring is preloaded, so that it maintains a certain contact pressure in the working state to ensure the sealing performance.
Material selection: Choosing the right sealing material can provide good sealing effect, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties.
Application cases in mechanical engineering
Metal spring seals are widely used in the field of mechanical engineering due to their stable sealing performance and adaptability. The following are several application cases:
Valve seal: In the valve, the metal spring seal is used to seal between the valve body and the valve cover, which can effectively prevent medium leakage and improve the service life and reliability of the valve.
Pump equipment: The shaft seal in the pump equipment is usually made of metal spring seals, which can maintain a good sealing effect under high-speed rotation and different working conditions to ensure the normal operation of the pump.
Pipe connection: In the pipe connection, the metal spring seal acts as the sealing element of the pipe flange, which can withstand certain pressure and temperature changes to prevent the leakage problem of the pipe system.
To sum up, metal spring seals play an important role in mechanical engineering with their excellent sealing performance and diverse application scenarios. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the improvement of materials, metal spring seals are expected to show their unique advantages and application value in more fields.
