  • Patent number: 9568105
    Abstract: A lip-type seal shaft seal device equipped with a lip seal for sealing a rotary member and a stationary member concentrically disposed to the inside and outside in a radial direction, has a plurality of aeration-creating parts for creating aeration through relative rotational sliding of the lip seal and the rotary member, formed in separated fashion in the circumferential direction on the outside peripheral surface of the rotary member. The aeration-creating parts are configured from a plurality of fine grooves arranged in the circumferential direction, extending along the axial direction of the rotary member. The lip of the lip seal extends towards the outside atmosphere side, leaving a portion of the aeration-creating parts at the sealed fluid side in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 7959158
    Abstract: A shaft sealing device includes a seal assembly equipped with a fitting part having a fitting surface hermetically fittable within a hole defining surface of a housing and a rubber elastomer first seal lip extending inward from the fitting part and having a seal surface which seals a fluid inside an internal boundary thereof. A seal sleeve made of metal or resin material is equipped with a slide seal surface that is in slidable contact with the seal surface of the first seal lip. A concave rotor surrounds a seal surface region defined at a longitudinal end of the slide seal surface, and includes a close-contact fitting surface that is hermetically fitted to a rotary shaft. A discharge port defined by the rotor facilitates the sealed fluid being pushed back to the rotor in a direction extending away from the seal surface region.

  • Patent number: 7648144
    Abstract: In a sealing device of the present invention, a support ring is fitted in an annular recessed part formed on the inner peripheral surface of a seal lip part independently of a reinforcement ring to support the seal lip part from the inner peripheral side, and the support ring is supported axially by a reinforcement ring via an interposed part. Thereby, when a rotating shaft is inserted into the seal ring, a contact area between a seal part and the rotating shaft can be made appropriate, and when a high pressure is applied to the seal lip part, an increase in contact area between the seal part and the rotating shaft can be suppressed within an appropriate range and the seal part becomes able to follow the eccentricity of the rotating shaft.
