Basics of Sealing Technology Seminar

Central issues are the operating principles of the sealing mechanism, friction and wear. You will get to know the most important types of seals and sealing systems and their function. Using simulations, the applicability of the model concepts is shown. The materials and manufacturing processes essentially determine the functional properties of the seals. The focus is on the rotary seals for sealing shafts and the translational seals for hydraulics and pneumatics. Static seals are also examined intensively. The assembly of seals and damage to seals are practiced in exercises. The interrelationships are conveyed practically with application examples from industry as well as numerous models and experiments.
