Tömítésseals

Tömítésseals are specialized components designed to prevent leakage between two mating surfaces. Their primary function is to create a barrier that seals in fluids, gases, or other substances, or to keep contaminants out. These seals are critical in a wide range of applications across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and plumbing.

The design and material of a tömítésseals are determined by factors such as the operating temperature, pressure, chemical environment, and the type of substance being contained. Common materials include rubber, elastomers like silicone and EPDM, plastics such as PTFE, and metals. The specific properties of these materials, such as their elasticity, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance, are crucial for effective sealing performance.

Tömítésseals come in numerous forms, each suited for different purposes. O-rings are a common type, featuring a circular cross-section and used in static or dynamic applications. Gaskets are often used in flanged joints, providing a seal between two flat surfaces. Lip seals and shaft seals are designed to prevent leakage along rotating or reciprocating shafts. Mechanical seals are more complex devices used in pumps and other rotating equipment to provide a high level of sealing integrity.

Proper installation and maintenance of tömítésseals are essential for their longevity and effectiveness. Wear, degradation, or improper fit can lead to leaks, potentially causing damage to equipment, environmental contamination, or safety hazards. Regular inspection and replacement are often part of preventive maintenance programs.
