  • Patent number: 10788129
    Abstract: A sealing device that is applicable to high-speed rotation applications and has an increased pressure resistance is provided. The sealing device includes: a first side discharge valve located on a first side, on which a fluid is to be sealed, of an outer circumferential sealing surface, the first side discharge valve extending radially outward toward the first side for allowing a gas in a space between an inner circumferential surface of a housing and an outer circumferential sealing surface to be discharged toward the first side while blocking a gas from entering the space from the first side; and a second side discharge valve located on an atmosphere side that is opposite to the first side with respect to the outer circumferential sealing surface, the second side discharge valve extending radially outward toward the atmosphere side for allowing the gas in the space to be discharged toward the atmosphere side while blocking a gas from entering the space from the atmosphere side.

  • Publication number: 20190101211
    Abstract: The sealing device includes a sealing member and a ring member. The sealing member has a groove and a slit, the groove being formed to have an annular shape in a circumferential direction along the sliding surface, and the slit being formed so as to allow communication from a side surface of the sealing member to the groove. The sealing member includes a contamination sealing portion which functions as a contamination seal and a hydraulic sealing portion which functions as a hydraulic seal, the contamination sealing portion being formed of a portion of the sliding surface disposed at a position outward from the groove, and the hydraulic sealing portion being formed of a portion of the sliding surface disposed at a position inward from the groove.

  • Patent number: 9371911
    Abstract: In a reciprocating sealing device sealing two members by mounting a packing to a mounting groove in one of two relatively reciprocating members, and bringing the packing into contact with the other member, the packing is provided with an annular base part, a stationary side lip, and a sliding side lip. A back ring having a lower hardness than the packing is interposed between the annular base part and a groove side surface of the mounting groove. The back ring forms a space region in relation to the other member. The annular base part is provided with a shape that the annular base part does not protrude out of an extension of a peripheral surface of the sliding side lip in a free state by forming a cross sectional shape of a heel part into a circular arc shape or a taper shape.

  • Publication number: 20130099450
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sealing device in which frictional resistance is further reduced while a sealing property is maintained. In a section passing through a central axis of the annular sealing device 100, if a radius of curvature of a curved face between a first inclined face 110X and a second inclined face 110Y is R0, a radius of curvature of a curved face between a side face on a sealed fluid side (O) and the first inclined face 110X in an annular groove is R1a, R2a, R3a, and R4a for respective annular grooves, and a radius of curvature of a curved face between a side face on an atmosphere side (A) and the first inclined face 110X in an annular groove is R1b, R2b, R3b, and R4b for the respective annular grooves, R1b, R2b, R3b, R4b<R0<R1a, R2a, R3a, R4a is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 7767084
    Abstract: An oil strainer in which pressure loss by a turbulent flow in a case (10) is reduced as much as possible. The oil strainer has the case (10) having an inflow opening (112) and an outflow opening (122) that are at positions separated from each other, and also has a filter member (20) provided so as to partition the inner space of the case (10) into a space (SI) on the inflow opening (112) side and a space (SO) on the outflow opening (122) side. A guiding surface (13) is provided in the case (10), and the guiding surface (13) has dam-like ribs (113, 123), extends via a position behind the outflow opening (122) when viewed from the inflow opening (112) side, and converges the flow of oil toward the outflow opening (122).
