Abstract: A fluororubber-metal laminate gasket material, which comprises a metallic steel sheet, a zirconium element-, phosphorus element-, and aluminum element-containing surface-treating agent layer, a silica-containing thermosetting phenol resin-based vulcanizing adhesive layer, and a fluororubber layer, as successively laid upon one another on the metallic steel sheet, where the silica-containing thermosetting phenol-based vulcanizing adhesive is a thermosetting phenol resin-based vulcanizing adhesive comprising silica and cresol novolak-type epoxy resin or phenol novolak-type epoxy resin, and further containing 11-80 parts by weight of an aliphatic amine-based compound or a mixture thereof with an imidazole-based compound as a curing accelerator on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the thermosetting phenol resin, where the aliphatic amine-based compound and the imidazol-based compound are in a proportion of the former to the latter of 100-10 wt. % to 0-90 wt. %.

Abstract: Abstract A shaft seal structure (17) is provided around an outer circumferential surface of the bearing member (16M, 16FM) located on the cylinder inside of each of the screw rotors (13M, 13FM). The shaft seal structure (17) forms a static pressure seal. A seal gas is introduced between the outer circumferential surfaces of the bearing members (16M, 16FM) and the inner circumferential surfaces (7) of the rotor cylinders of the screw rotors (13M, 13FM) through the bearing members (16M, 16FM).

Abstract: A vacuum pump, comprising a pair of screw rotors having a first screw rotor with a plurality of spiral land parts and a second screw rotor with a plurality of spiral groove parts and rotating about two axes substantially parallel with each other while engagement with each other, a casing storing the pair of screw rotors, and a pair of bearings installed on a pair of shafts (4) supporting the pair of screw rotors. The vacuum pump is characterized in that a pair of shaft seals (5) in non-contact with the pair of shafts (4) are installed between the pair of screw rotors and the pair of bearings, and each of the pair of shaft seals (5) is of a static pressure type and leads seal gas through a shaft seal portion.

Abstract: The air damper includes a piston reciprocating within a cylindrical housing. The piston includes a lip seal which is coated with a minimum of 0.5%/seal part weight graphite powder/molybdenum disulfide. This provides for increased smoothness of operation of the air damper, particularly at low speeds.

Abstract: A packing structure has a core element of a material having a high fluid impermeability, and a thin coated rubber layer formed thereon to cover at least its sealing surface and having a glass transition temperature which is lower than the lowest temperature allowable for the packing structure. It shows a high sealing property even at a low temperature and a high fluid impermeability when used for sealing e.g. a pipeline for conveying fuel in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: In a quick connector for piping 10 for detachably connecting a male member 12 to a female member 11, an O-ring 15 is interposed between the female member 11 and the male member 12 so as to form a seal therebetween, and the O-ring 15 is subjected to a low-friction treatment so that the O-ring can be moved in a direction of an axis of the quick connector 10 by a pressure of an employed fluid.

Abstract: The air damper includes a piston reciprocating within a cylindrical housing. The piston includes a lip seal which is made of rubber or thermoplastic elastomer impregnated with a minimum of 3% molybdenum/seal part weight, or a minimum of 2% polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone/seal part weight or a minimum of 1% wax/seal part weight. The lip seal is coated with a minimum of 0.5%/seal part weight graphite powder/molybdenum disulfide. The housing is made with a minimum of 2% silicone impregnated thermoplastic or a minimum of 2% moly sulfide impregnated thermoplastic. This provides for increased smoothness of operation of the air damper, particularly at low speeds.

Abstract: In a seal structure of a compressor according to the present invention, two O-rings 6 and 7 are disposed at a joint portion between a front housing 2 and a cylinder block 3 constituting a housing of a compressor 1. The inner O-ring 6 uses a material excellent in mechanical and chemical properties (nitrile rubber), and the outer O-ring 7 uses a material excellent in gas permeation resistance (butyl rubber). The inner O-ring 6 has a greater diameter and the outer O-ring 7 has a smaller diameter.

Abstract: A sealing member is produced from form-pressed boron nitride powder, while adding an inorganic or organic binding agent. Such boron nitride powder is obtained during the machining of boron nitride blocks composed of hexagonal boron nitride. This powder can be fractionated according to particle size and the particle size desired for manufacturing the sealing member can be separated out.

Abstract: A method of sealing sheet pile joints using a paraffinic product to seal the gripping elements of the sheet piles. The paraffinic products usable for sealing the gripping elements of sheet piles have a drop point lying between 100 and 140° C. and a cone penetration of between 20 and 50 mm/10. In a preferred embodiment, the paraffinic product contains at least 50% paraffin waxes, and may also incorporate mineral oils, bonding agents, antioxidants and/or other normal additives. According to another embodiment, the paraffinic products usable for sealing the gripping elements of sheet piles have a resistance to hydrostatic pressure of at least 0.12 bar/mm, preferably at least 0.22 bar/mm.

Abstract: A brake (10) for a hydraulic vehicle brake system has a housing (14) with a bore (18) which is formed therein and in which a brake piston (20) is received in a sealingly and slideably displaceable manner. The brake piston (20) is adapted to press a brake lining (32) against a brake disk (12) by means of hydraulic pressure. For sealing, the brake piston (20) is sealed off relative to the bore (18) by means of a sealing ring (26) made of elastic material. In order to optimize the adhesive and sliding properties between the sealing ring (26) and brake piston (20), the sealing ring (26) and/or at least that outer surface of the brake piston (20) which cooperates with the sealing ring (26) is coated with a lacquer which contains an organic binder and a solid lubricant.

Abstract: An oil-submerged sliding member which has a good sealability and wear resistance and low attack to the mating member and which can be used with either a soft or a non-soft mating member. It is made from a resin composition comprising 30-88% by weight of a crosslinked polyallylene sulfide resin having a melt viscosity of 2000-5000 poise at 300.degree. C., 10-45% by weight of a carbon fiber, and 2-25% by weight of recycled polytetrafluoroethylene resin powder, and if required, not more than 10% by weight of molybdenum disulfide. Also, oil seal rings comprising the oil-submerged sliding member.
