  2. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

    Compression seal example. A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets. The seals ...

  3. Parts cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_cleaning

    Composition: e.g. cooling lubricants may be composed differently. Single components may account for big problems, especially for job shop cleaners, who have no control over prior processes and thus don't know the contaminants. For example, silicates may obstruct nitriding. State of aggregation; Chemical and physical properties

  4. Gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

    A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. It is a deformable material that is used to create a static seal and maintain that seal under various operating conditions in a mechanical assembly. [1]

  5. End-face mechanical seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-face_mechanical_seal

    An end-face mechanical seal generates heat from rubbing and viscous shear and must be cooled to assure good performance and reliable operation. Typically, cooling is provided by circulating fluid around the seal. This fluid, known as a flush, may be the same as the fluid being sealed or an entirely different fluid.

  6. Ferrofluidic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluidic_seal

    Ferrofluidic is the brand name of a staged magnetic liquid rotary sealing mechanism made by the Ferrotec Corporation. Ferrofluidic seals, also known as magnetic liquid rotary seals, are employed in various rotating equipment to facilitate rotary motion while ensuring a hermetic seal.

  7. Glass-to-metal seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-to-metal_seal

    Uranium glass used as lead-in seals in a vacuum capacitor. Glass-to-metal seals are a type of mechanical seal which joins glass and metal surfaces. They are very important elements in the construction of vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, incandescent light bulbs, glass-encapsulated semiconductor diodes, reed switches, glass windows in metal cases, and metal or ceramic packages of ...

    Bernard, 60, lives in Royal Oak and was laid off Nov. 15. When I tracked him down and we talked by phone, he told me that he doesn’t know the guy who made the TikTok video and is not even on TikTok.

  9. Hydrodynamic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_seal

    A hydrodynamic seal is a type of mechanical seal. A hydrodynamic seal uses a dynamic rotor with grooves that act as a pump and create an air film that the opposing sealing surface will ride on. A hydrodynamic seal performs better than hydrostatic seals by providing greater film stiffness, lower leakage and lower lift off speeds.
