DETAILED SURFACE ANALYSIS OF LIP SEAL ELASTOMERS RAN AGAINST SHAFTS MANUFACTURED WITH TRIANGULAR CAVITIES

Previous experimental and theoretical results indicate that the keys to successful radial lip seals are the surface characteristics of the shaft and the microasperity pattern that develops due to wear on the elastomer. In this study, the lip seal was tested against five different patterns of shaft s...
