Mounting, design and construction

• The gaskets should be subject to a pre-loading of 10% more than the maximum deflection of the moving part. Therefore, the diameter of the seal for shafts should be 5% smaller than the shaft diameter and the outside dimensions should be 5% larger than the gasket groove.
• The max. static pre-loading is approximately 30-35%, a compression set of 6-10% has to be expected.
• Due to the elasticity the diameter tolerance, the mismatch of the shaft diameter and the grooves may be relatively large.
• However, the surface roughness on parts to be sealed should not exceed 0,005mm at the tight joint.
• Please note: Impregnation of the gaskets with grease will reduce the friction loss by approximately 50%.
