Abstract: An experimental investigation of the mechanics of hydrodynamic lubrication and heat generation and dissipation of packed-gland rotary shaft seals was performed on a somewhat novel design. The ...

Abstract: This paper describes a theory of liquid lubrication applicable to parallel surfaces, such as the surfaces of a rotary-shaft face seal. The lubrication mechanism presented is based on surface ...

Abstract: Large load-supporting capability has been observed between parallel surfaces of a rotary-shaft face-seal when one of the surfaces contains microasperities in the form of circular cylinders with ...

Abstract: A technique has been developed for studying the rheological behavior of the lubricating film within the contact zone of rolling contact bodies. This is accomplished by rolling two contacting ...

Abstract: Observations of load support from various shapes of microasperities placed on the surface of a rotary-shaft face seal indicate that all are comparable in this respect and generally follow the ...

Abstract: Stress patterns in lubricated rolling-contact elements have been computed from surface pressures and temperatures between pairs of rolling disks, both cylindrical or both crowned, measured by means ...
