Originally made by Dowty Group, they are also known as Dowty seals or Dowty washers. [1] Now widely manufactured, they are available in a range of standard sizes and materials [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] A bonded seal consists of an outer annular ring of a hard material, typically steel, and an inner annular ring of an elastomeric material that acts as a ...
A type of washer with integral gasket, widely used to provide a seal at the entry point of a screw or bolt [2] [3] Bridgman seal, a piston sealing mechanism that creates a high pressure reservoir from a lower pressure source; Split seals [4] are innovative sealing solutions designed to enhance efficiency and convenience in various mechanical ...
[1] Two banjo fittings (upper center of photo) atop automotive brake calipers. The copper crush washer in the gap between the fitting and body of the caliper completes the seal. Compared to pipe fittings that are themselves threaded, banjo fittings have the advantage that they do not have to be rotated relative to the host fitting. This avoids ...
Shortly after the Second World War, Dowty Aviation decided to apply its hydraulics technology to wider fields, venturing into motorcycle suspension forks, hydraulic pit props, industrial pumps, and hydraulic control systems. [4] In 1945, Dowty Seals was founded; during 1950, another new entity, Dowty Hydraulic Units, was created, while Dowty ...
Push-to-pull fittings are easily removed compression fitting that allows pipes to be connected with minimal tools. These fittings are similar to regular compression fittings but use an O-ring for sealing and a grip ring to hold the pipe. The main advantage is that it can easily be removed and re-used, it is easy to assemble, and the joints are ...
British Standard Pipe (BSP) is a set of technical standards for screw threads that has been adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipes and fittings by mating an external thread with an internal (female) thread.
AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-to-metal seal. They are similar to other 37° flared fittings, such as JIC , which is their industrial variant. [ 2 ] The two are interchangeable in theory, though this is typically not recommended due to the exacting specifications and demands of the aerospace industry.
This type of washer is especially effective as a lock washer when used with a soft substrate, such as aluminium or plastic, [8] and can resist rotation more than a plain washer on hard surfaces, as the tension between washer and the surface is applied over a much smaller area (the teeth). There are four types: internal, external, combination ...
