This paper deals with a numerical study of the dynamic response of rubber oil seals for rotating shaft when interference as well as static and dynamic eccentricities are present. In loss of contact conditions the dynamic curve of oil seals is numerically simulated using the FEM package MSC/NASTRAN. The direct integration method is selected to analyze the time domain response of the seal lip-shaft contact. The computed results based on the experimental data indicate that the increased rotating speed may produce the gap separation between lip edge of rubber seals and shaft. These results will be very useful in predicting the dynamic leakage due to contact behaviors of rubber oil seals under dynamic conditions.

The intermittent high vibration has been occurred one or two times a day for a 500MW large steam turbine during 5 months. This abnormal vibration was caused by the rubbing between the rotor and the carbide accumulated on the seal tooth of oil deflector. It was found that the accumulated carbide was insulation material installed on the HIP casing from the examination of the chemical composition. Also, this paper presents the mechanism of the intermittent high vibration and the proper method to eliminate this vibration problem. This result would be good practice to find the solution of similar high vibration in the steam turbines for power plant as well as industrial rotating machineries.

In this research, we experimentally investigated the sealing performance of elastomeric rotary lip seals for washing machines. In general, NBR is used as a material for elastomeric rotary lip seals in washing machines, but the mixing formula of the rubber material can affect the sealing performance. In this study, we manufactured rotary lip seals using three kinds of NBRs with a different mixing formula, and examined the sealing performance using an acceleration test mode. The results of an SEM investigation into the surfaces of three kinds of specimens showed a much smaller wear volume and better sealing performance for the specimens with smaller particle sizes of mixing composition than for the specimen with the larger. Repeated deformation and recovery by the shaft-to-seal eccentricity on rotation were shown to cause a phase difference in the rubber material, and we measured the recovery ratio to find the influence of this phase difference on the sealing performance. As another method for checking the phase difference, we also measured tan ä, and a lower tan ä was revealed as the recovery ratio increased for each specimen. Specimens with a higher recovery ratio (lower tan ä) were shown to have a better sealing performance. Consequently, specimens with a smaller particle size in the mixing composition had a better sealing performance because they show a higher recovery ratio.

The hydraulic cylinder seals are used not only to protect leakage of the working fluids but also to prevent incoming of foreign particles into the system. Chromium plating is generally applied to improve corrosion and wear resistance. It has been noticed that sealing surface damage occurs due to the hard foreign/wear particles contained in the hydraulic oil. In this study, a three-bodied sliding contact problem related with a PTFE seal, a spherical particle and chrome-plated steel substrate is modeled to investigate the relations to wear mechanism. Using the nonlinear finite element software, MARC/MENTAT, the deformed shapes, the von Mises and first principal stress distributions with plating thickness were compared. The sealing surface was mainly abraded by hard particles embedded in the seal. The plastic deformation of the steel substrate decreased with thicker plating. Hence it could be more effective to coat the sealing surface of a hydraulic cylinder with a hard material such as TiN, TiC and DLC.

Using the finite element method, the contact force, contact band width and temperature distribution of lip seals analyzed for the interference including some nonlinearities such as material nonlinearity, geometrical nonlinearity and nonlinear contact boundary condition. The calculated results showed that the contact stress concentrated on the contact zone between the garter spring and the rubber toward the flex side, the contact edge of lip seals. The high contact forces due to the increased interference separate the sealing gap between the lip edge and the rotating shaft. This may lead to leak the sealed oil.

Until recently performance requirements for automatic transmission fluids have continued to change to reflect the design changes of automatic transmission. The major purpose for these design changes is to improve the fuel economy and easy driving. To meet recent performance requirements fur automatic transmission the needs for special base oils Bike API Group III and IV base oils become larger. In this paper to evaluate the effects of base oils on performance of automatic transmission fluids formulated with API Group I,II,III and IV and Dexron III and Hereon Type additive package, Brookfield viscosity, oxidation test, SAE No.2 friction test and seal compatibility test were examined. From the test we knew that the use of Croup III and IV base oils in ATF has several benefits in low temperature viscosity, oxidation stability and SAE No.2 friction characteristics.

In this study, an inspection system for automotive parts using machine vision has been developed and presented. The system is comprised of six analog CCD cameras, frame grabber, and mechanism that loads the automotive parts to the system for the inspection. An Image processing algorithm for detecting eight different types of defects of oil-seals are developed, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is experimentally verified. Inspection process is completed in 1 second with acceptable accuracy. It is envisaged that this inspection system will have a wide application in the automotive part manufacturing industry in the future.

자동차용 고무부품에 대한 유한요소 해석의 신뢰 향상을 위하여 고무소재 물성치에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 마운트 설계를 위하여 수백 종의 고무 물성치를 모두 측정하는 것은 현실적으로 어렵다. 그래서 시험 값을 대신하는 순수전단 시험 데이타의 변환 방법을 제시하여 유효성을 확인하였다. 순수전단시험의 응력-변형 관계의 변환은 단순인장시험 데이터와 주 연신률의 함수로 정의한 푸아송의 비를 사용하였다. 카본 충진 고무의 변환 순수전단시험 데이터는 100%변형까지 시험 데이터와 상당히 유사하다. 단순인장시험 데이타와 함께, 순수전단시험의 변환 데이타와 시험 데이터를 각각 사용한 허브베어링 씰의 접촉력에 대한 유한요소해석 결과들은 시험 데이터와 거의 일치하였다. 해석에 사용된 재료상수는 Ogden 상수이다.

이 논문은 LPG 자동차의 캠축베어링 시일의 오일누설, 컴퓨터커넥터 핀 손상에 의한 접촉불량, 베이퍼라이저 배부불량으로 인한 고장사례에 대하여 현상을 분석, 연구한 것이다. 첫 번째 사례는 실린더 헤드를 분해하여 확인한 결과 타이밍 시스템에서 가까운 엔진의 흡기캠축의 베어링과 시일의 조립부 손상으로 인해 이 부위로 엔진오일이 누설되는 것을 확인하였다. 두 번째 사례는 엔진컴퓨터로 공급되는 자동차의 시동을 제어하는 전원선의 커넥터 핀이 손상되어, 전원이 공급되지 않아 시동이 꺼진 것을 확인하였다. 세 번째 사례는 베이퍼라이저 내부에 이물질의 퇴적으로 인해 가스의 흐름이 원활하지 못하여 엔진의 부조화현상이 발생되었다. 결국, 베이퍼라이저에서 믹서로 적은 양의 가스를 공급하게 되고, 믹서의 스로틀 열림량을 제어하는 컴퓨터는 그 열림량만큼 공기를 공급하게 됨으로써 연소실에서 혼합기는 희박한 상태가 되어 엔진의 적정출력을 내지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 자동차가 최적의 운전조건이 될 수 있도록 자동차관련 시스템의 관리를 철저하게 해야한다.
