Tätningstyper

Tätningstyper refers to different methods and materials used to create a seal between two or more components, preventing the passage of fluids, gases, or solids. The choice of tätningstyp depends on various factors, including the application, operating environment, and the substances being contained or excluded.

Common categories of tätningstyper include mechanical seals, gaskets, and O-rings. Mechanical seals are sophisticated devices often used in rotating equipment like pumps and compressors. They typically consist of stationary and rotating sealing faces that slide against each other to create a seal. Gaskets are static seals, placed between two mating surfaces to prevent leakage. They are made from a wide array of materials, such as rubber, metal, plastic, and composite materials, and are compressed to form a seal. O-rings are a type of gasket that is a circular cross-section ring, commonly made of elastomeric materials, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly.

Other tätningstyper include packing, which involves flexible material wrapped around a shaft or stem, and sealants, which are adhesive or cohesive materials applied to fill gaps and create a barrier. Lip seals, often used in bearing applications, utilize a flexible lip that is pressed against a rotating shaft. Each tätningstyp has specific advantages and limitations regarding pressure, temperature, chemical resistance, and ease of installation and maintenance. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the most appropriate sealing solution for a given application to ensure reliability and efficiency.
