Abstract

Water seal is composed of metal case, garter spring, and NBR. Axisymmetric, large deformation non-linear contact problems were solved by using the finite element method for the evaluation of performance of the water seal. Effects of the interference between seal and shaft, and the garter spring on the seal characteristics were considered in this analysis. The contact force and sealing performance increased as the interference and spring stiffness increases. And middle seal is main role sealing performance. Further research efforts are required to consider the effects of the garter spring stiffness, the eccentricity by the shaft or case, and the water pressure.
