Rotary PTFE and Spring Energised Seals

Standard Profiles

Moontown solid PTFE Lip seals provide the designer with a significant improvement in performance over elastomer lip seals at a much lower cost than a mechanical face seal.


TYPE M50

TYPE M51

TYPE M50: Shaft speed up to 25 m/s. Maximum pressure = 5 bar. Used in lubricated and non-lubricated applications. Maximum temperature 100°C

TYPE M51: As type M50 but due to the metal support ring can be used up to 200°C or maximum O-ring material temperature.


TYPE M52

TYPE M53

TYPE M52: Improved sealing of gases and abrasive media due to higher lip load. Not recommended for shaft speeds greater than 8 m/s.

TYPE M53: As type M52 but can be used up to 200°C or maximum O-ring material temperature due to metal support ring.


TYPE M54

TYPE M55

TYPE M54: Incorporates spring loading for use in applications where shaft run-out or misalignment exists. Pressures up to 3 bar. Speed up to 7 m/s.

TYPE M55: As type M54 but can be used up to 200°C or maximum O-ring material temperature due to metal support ring.


TYPE M56

TYPE M57

TYPE M56: Shaft speed up to 30 m/s. Maximum pressure 1.5 bar. Low friction seal. Used as environmental seals.

TYPE M57: As type M56 but can be used up to 200°C or maximum O-ring material temperature due to metal support ring.


TYPE M58

TYPE M59

TYPE M58: Used in high pressure hydraulic applications, pumps, hydraulic motors. Operational PV factor 65 bar m/s max.

TYPE M59: As type M58 but the clamping is in the axial direction which requires the gland width to be held to the seal width -0.0/+0.1

Shaft Material and Hardness Finish

Cast Iron or Hardenable Steel

-40 to 65 HRc with hydraulic oil up to 15 bar
-58 to 65 HRc with pressure > 15 bar and non-lubricating or abrasive media.

Shaft

Ra 0.3 - 0.5 µm for lubricated applications
RA 0.2 - 0.4 µm for non-lubricated or abrasive media
RA < 0.2 µm in vacuum

Bore or O-Ring Side

Ra = 0.8 - 1.6 µm
Maximum bore finish of 0.8 - 1.6 µm for utilising a spring energised PTFE seal for OD sealing
Preferred finishing method is plunge grinding with no lead
