Classification and difference between mechanical seals and hydraulic seals

Definitions of mechanical seals and hydraulic seals: Mechanical seal is one of the precision and complex mechanical basic elements, and is the key component of various pumps, reaction synthesis kettles, turbine compressors, submersible motors and other equipment. Its sealing performance and service life depend on many factors, such as model selection, machine accuracy, correct installation and use, etc. The hydraulic seal has pressure requirements, and the joint surface is required to have a certain degree of smoothness. The sealing element is mostly rubber, and the sealing effect is achieved through the local deformation of the sealing element. Classification of mechanical…

Characteristics and uses of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)

Characteristics and uses of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a rubber made of ethylene and propylene through solution copolymerization, and then introduced into the third monomer (ENB). EPDM is basically a saturated polymer with excellent aging resistance, weather resistance, electrical insulation, chemical corrosion resistance and impact elasticity. The main disadvantage of ethylene propylene rubber is its slow curing speed; It is difficult to blend with other unsaturated rubbers, and the self adhesion and mutual adhesion are very poor, so the processing performance is poor. According to the performance characteristics of ethylene propylene rubber, it is mainly used in the fields that require aging…

Brief introduction of rubber processing technology

Brief introduction of rubber processing technology

1. Plasticizing mechanism Rubber is plasticized to increase its plasticity. Its essence is to break rubber molecular chains and reduce the length of macromolecules. Fracture can occur not only in the main chain of macromolecules, but also in the side chain. As rubber is subject to oxygen, electricity, heat, mechanical force, plasticizer and other factors during plasticizing, the plasticizing mechanism is closely related to these factors, among which oxygen and mechanical force play an important role, and they complement each other. Generally, plasticizing can be divided into low-temperature plasticizing and high-temperature plasticizing. The former is dominated by mechanical degradation, and…

Basic knowledge of rubber varieties

1. Natural rubber (NR) is mainly rubber hydrocarbon (polyisoprene), containing a small amount of protein, water, resin acid, sugar and inorganic salt. High elasticity, high tensile strength, good tear resistance and electrical insulation, good abrasion resistance and drought resistance, good processability, easy to bond with other materials, and superior to most synthetic rubbers in comprehensive performance. The disadvantages are poor oxygen resistance and ozone resistance, easy to aging and deterioration; Poor oil and solvent resistance, low acid and alkali resistance; The heat resistance is not high. Operating temperature range: about - 60 ℃~+80 ℃. To make tyres, rubber shoes, rubber…

Basic characteristics of rubber O-ring materials

Basic characteristics of rubber O-ring materials

1、 Flammability of rubber Most rubbers have varying degrees of flammability. And the rubber containing halogen in the molecule, such as neoprene, fluororubber, etc., has a certain flame resistance. Therefore, chloroprene rubber and chlorosulfonated polyethylene containing chlorine atoms are difficult to burn even after removing the external flame, while fluororubber is completely self extinguishing. The flame retardancy of the compound can be improved by adding flame retardants (such as phosphate or halogen containing substances). 2、 Gas permeability (gas tightness) of rubber The gas permeability of rubber is the product of gas solubility and diffusion in rubber. The gas solubility decreases…

A Simple Method for Distinguishing Different Rubbers

1、Medium resistant weight gain test Samples can be taken from finished products, soaked in one or several selected media, weighed after a certain temperature and time, and the type of materials can be inferred according to the weight change rate and hardness change rate. For example, after soaking in 100 degree engine oil for 24 hours, the quality and hardness change rate of NBR, fluororubber, ECO and CR are very small, while NR, EPDM and SBR have more than doubled in weight, changed greatly in hardness and expanded significantly in volume. 2、Hot air aging test Take samples from the finished…

Processing Technology of Automobile Engine Connecting Rod

The connecting rod is a power functional component connecting the piston and the crankshaft. The small end of the connecting rod is connected with the piston through the piston pin, and the large end of the connecting rod is connected with the connecting rod journal of the crankshaft, and the gas pressure borne by the piston is transmitted to the crankshaft, so that the reciprocating motion of the piston is transformed into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. The shape of the connecting rod is irregular and complex, which makes it difficult to locate. The reducer is connected by a…
