Do’s Don’ts SEAL POLYMER BEARING VALIDATION RECOMMENDATIONS TRELLEBORG SEALING SOLUTIONS How do I validate a seal or bearing Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has over 60 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of seals and bearings. We’d like to share with you a few do’s and don’ts to help you optimize seal and bearing performance when validating seals for a specific application. Critical Elements When specifying seals and bearings, there are a number of critical elements that need to be focused on. For seals, this is related to pressure, and for bearings, it is the load. Seals Factors Affecting Critical Elements: Design Factors Environmental Factors Material Pressure Dynamics Shape Temperature Assembly Process Time Media Bearings Factors Affecting Critical Elements: Design Factors Environmental Factors Material Load Dynamics Shape Temperature Assembly Process Time Media Material Trelleborg Sealing Solutions supplies a broad range of materials specially developed for specific applications. Specifying the right material for your application can help optimize its performance. DO DON’T + Understand that materials - Undervalue the effect of have a significant effect on seal and bearing materials component output even when on an application. Material seals and bearings have the specifications cannot fully same geometry describe a material + Recognize that specific - Underestimate the influence materials may provide of materials on the seal, additional performance benefits bearing, fluid or dynamic sealing surface General DO + Carefully consider how any substitutions or changes to any design, process or material will effect your application and decide if the change is worth making + Respect that when working in a global team, language and culture may have an affect on the validation process DON’T - Misapply static FEA results in dynamic applications - Use minimal data points or extremely small sample sizes Mating Surfaces 1.61
