  • Patent number: 10473220
    Abstract: In an embodiment, in a slide component, dynamic pressure generation grooves 10 are provided on a sealing face of at least one of a pair of slide parts 4, 7 so as to be isolated with no communication from the sealed fluid side and the leakage side by land portions R of both the sealing faces, and a plurality of independently-formed minute recessed sections 11 is provided at positions on the sealing face IS between the dynamic pressure generation grooves 10 and the leakage side, the positions being separated in the radial direction from the dynamic pressure generation grooves. The slide component can make the sealing faces fluid-lubricant and low frictional and prevent leakage of a sealed fluid and incoming of dust to the sealing faces at the time of normal operation.

  • Publication number: 20180128377
    Abstract: In an embodiments, in a sealing face of at least one slide part of a pair of slide parts, a dynamic pressure generation groove 10 is provided so as to be separated not to communicate with a sealed fluid side and a leakage side by land portions on both sealing faces, between an end 10a on the leakage side of the dynamic pressure generation groove 10 and the leakage side, a fluid introduction groove 11 which communicates the dynamic pressure generation groove 10 and the leakage side is provided, and the cross-sectional area of the fluid introduction groove 11 is set smaller than the cross-sectional area of the dynamic pressure generation groove 10. The sealing faces are subjected to fluid lubrication and low friction in a steady operation, and leakage of the sealed fluid and entrance of dust into the sealing faces are suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7128323
    Abstract: Primary objective of the present invention is to provide a seal device wherein the seal surfaces of the device are always brought into close contact against the side walls of the mounting slot regardless of fluid conditions. The seal device has two seal portions located to both sides of a bight shaped elastic portion which has a “U”-shaped cross section wherein the respective seal portions have a first side portion and a second side portion. The second side portions of the seal portions abut against each other in a symmetric manner in order to form a “W”-shaped seal body element. The end portions of the both second side portions of the seal body element are joined and seal surfaces are defined on the outer side surfaces of the both first side portions.
