What we do We develop, prototype and prove many new lip seal designs in partnership with major OEMs and plant operators, to solve their specific fluid sealing problems.
This is a service that only a few seal manufacturing companies in the world can provide. As this type of work is confidential, we are able to describe it only in general terms.
How we do it For custom design projects, we apply expertise in applications engineering, fluid sealing technology and materials science to generate a number of design concepts to solve a specific problems.
Then we use non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) techniques to:
Eliminate unsuitable designs.
Fine-tune the seal geometry and materials of manufacture until the optimum combination is achieved.
Prototypes are manufactured and fully tested on our suites of static and dynamic test rigs to simulate closely the true operating conditions.
The resulting improvements we achieve in seal performance are greatly appreciated by customers, as are the FEA images we produce to explain the reasons behind our design decisions.
