Materials

Metal parts

The metal parts can be made from two different materials.

15CrMoNi Cast iron

The standard material used for the metal parts is 15CrMoNi Cast iron with a hardness of 65 - 72 HRC and that has been developed to resist extreme conditions (environments that are abrasive, corrosive and have strong external demands). It can support a speed up to 3 m/s.

Durinit cast iron

The Durinit material is a special Cast iron developed for applications that require permissible speeds of 10 m/s max. This special cast iron has a hardness of 58 - 65 HRC.

Rubbers

NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)

Nitrile rubber (NBR) is the general term for acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer. The ACN content can vary between 18% and 50%. While the acrylonitrile content is important, the resistance to oil and fuel is more so. Conversely, the elasticity and compression set are not as good. The NBR has good mechanical properties and good wear resistance. However, its resistance to atmospheric agents and the ozone is relatively low.

Chemical resistance Aliphatic hydrocarbons (propane, butane, petroleum, diesel fuel)

FKM (fluorinated rubber)

Depending on their structure and fluorine content, the chemical resistance and resistance to the cold in fluororubbers can vary. This FKM-based rubber is very often used for high-temperature hydraulics and pneumatics, for industrial valves, injection/fuel systems, motor seals and high-vacuum systems.

Chemical compatibility

A "Chemical compatibility guide" catalogue can be downloaded from the Documentation section. You can also use our online "Chemical compatibility" tool free of charge.

These two tools give you the option of measuring the behaviour of our materials that come into contact with the majority of existing fluids. The data displayed is the result of rigorous testing of the ambient temperature and in consultation with previous publications. Test results are not fully representative due to the specific features of your application. The tests performed actually do not consider additives and impurities that may exist under the actual conditions of use, nor the potential elevation of temperatures. Other parameters can also alter the behaviour of our materials, such as the hardness, persistence, abrasion, etc. We therefore recommend performing your own tests to verify the compatibility of our materials according to your specific application. Our technical team can provide you with any additional information.

Technical data

Types of lubrication

For the system to operate correctly, it is necessary to lubricate the seal at the sealing gaps. We recommend using oil lubrication rather than grease lubrication.

  • For an oil lubrication that is permanent and does not require upkeep, the oil level must be between the 2/3 of the inside diameter of the seal and the middle of the axis. We recommend using SAE 80 and SAE 90 gearbox oils for a better operation.
  • Grease lubrication requires particular attention. It is avoided due to the hydrodynamic conditions of lubrication that cannot be met, which could lead to significant wear and therefore a premature deterioration of the seal. If grease lubrication is used, the grease must not be inserted between the friction surfaces of the seal.

 

Limitations of use

The diagram below determines the linear speed (m/s), in line with the outside diameter of the floating seal "D1" (mm) and its rotation speed (rpm).

Nomogram for determining peripheral speed for floating seals - face seals

 

Determining the Installation dimensions "I"

The Installation dimensions "I" affects the position of the floating seal, the compression of the O'Rings and the axial force. For standard applications using the BECA 830 profiles, a value of 3 mm (+/-0.5) must be taken into consideration for the Installation dimensions "I".

We recommend increasing the assembly dimension to prevent a load on the seal surfaces that is too large, which leads to heating during significant peripheral speeds (5 to 10 m/s).

Permissible pressure

The floating seals can be used for maximum pressures of 0.30 MPa for Cast iron and 0.15 MPa for 100Cr6 bearing steel.

 

Surface roughness

Roughness Contact surface area
Ra ≤ 3.2 µm
Rz ≤ 10.0 µm
Rmax ≤ 16.0 µm

Assembly recommendations

The floating seals are in standard hard Cast iron precision parts. Do not knock or bump them. The floating seals are mounted as follows:

  • The seal must not be removed from its original packaging until just before it is fitted, and it must protect the operational surfaces (A) from any soiling or deterioration.
  • The housings of the seal (B) must be clean and there must be no burrs around the installation.
  • The floating seals must be fitted using mounting tools (D). They are composed of two bearing shells fitted around a floating seal. In this way, the exertion required for installation is applied directly through the O'Ring (C).
  • The floating seal must then be inserted into the housing, and all parts must be positioned symmetrically.
  • The O'Rings, once put in place, must not be twisted or jammed.
  • Before the final fitting, a thin film of oil must be applied to the two operational parts with a lint-free cloth (e.g.: a chamois)
