About Agricultural Equipment Seals
Agricultural equipment seals are mainly used in agricultural machinery, such as tractors, harvesters, irrigation machinery, etc. These seals need to withstand harsh working environments, such as dust, water, fertilizers, pesticides, etc., as well as large pressure and friction.
Characteristics
1. Good sealing performance: Even under low torque conditions, good sealing performance can be maintained.
2. Strong adaptability: It can adapt to high temperature and speed rotation environment, and allows the shaft to have a certain degree of rotation.
3. Economical and practical: Made of rubber and other raw materials, it is a highly economical seal that can be widely used.
4. Dust-proof and leak-proof: It can prevent the lubricating oil of mechanical equipment from leaking in the rotating shaft bearing part, and prevent external dust from infiltrating.
Structure and composition
The structure and composition of agricultural equipment seals vary depending on the specific type, but generally speaking, they are composed of main materials and auxiliary materials.
■ The main material is the main component of the seal, usually made of polymer materials, such as PTFE, polyurethane, etc. The main material has good elasticity and durability, and can maintain good sealing performance during long-term use.
■ Auxiliary materials are special materials added to improve the performance of seals. For example, in order to improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the seal, reinforcing materials such as carbon fiber and graphite can be added to the main material. In addition, in order to improve the compressibility and resilience of the seal, some auxiliary materials such as fillers and softeners can also be added.
Among agricultural equipment seals, O-rings are the most commonly used ones. They are composed of main materials and auxiliary materials. The main material is usually made of rubber, which has good elasticity and durability. Auxiliary materials include skeletons, metal rings, etc., which can enhance the hardness and pressure resistance of the seal. In addition, in order to improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the seal, special materials such as graphite and mica can also be added to the main material.
In general, the structure and composition of agricultural equipment seals vary depending on the specific type, but they should all have good sealing performance, durability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance to adapt to the use environment of agricultural machinery and equipment.
Application scope
The application scenarios of agricultural equipment seals mainly include the following aspects:
1. Tractor: The tractor’s engine, gearbox, rear axle and other parts require seals to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and the entry of external dust.
2. Irrigation machinery: In order to prevent water from leaking from between various parts of the irrigation machinery, seals need to be used.
3. Harvesting machinery: Harvesting machinery needs to use rubber seals to maintain the normal operation of the machinery during harvesting, threshing, cleaning, packaging and other processes.
4. Agricultural transport vehicles: During the transportation process, agricultural transport vehicles need seals to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil of the goods and the vehicle itself.
5. Other agricultural equipment: such as water pumps, motors, fertilizer machinery, etc. also need to use equipment seals to maintain the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life.
Agricultural equipment seals are indispensable components in agricultural machinery and equipment. They play an important role in protecting the internal mechanisms of machinery and equipment, preventing lubricating oil from leaking, preventing dust and dirt from entering the inside of machinery, and maintaining the normal operation of machinery and equipment.
Classification
Agricultural equipment seals can be classified into many categories based on their functionality, materials, and construction.
1. Oil seal: used to prevent lubricating oil, hydraulic oil or other liquids from leaking from the rotating shaft or moving parts of agricultural equipment. Oil seals are usually made of rubber or elastomeric materials that are resistant to wear and chemical corrosion.
2. O-ring: It is an annular rubber seal commonly used to seal liquids or gases in static or low-pressure dynamic applications. They are suitable for sealing pipe joints, valves and other connecting parts.
3. Mechanical seals: Mechanical seals are suitable for high-speed rotating equipment, such as pumps and compressors of agricultural machinery. They consist of multiple sealing rings, packings and springs to effectively prevent liquid or gas leakage.
4. Wear parts: Some moving parts of agricultural equipment may wear out, such as bearings, gears and chains. In order to reduce wear and improve sealing effect, wearing parts such as bearing seals, gear seals and chain seals can be used.
5. Hydraulic seals: Hydraulic systems are widely used in agricultural equipment, and hydraulic seals are used to prevent liquid leakage in the hydraulic system. They include piston seals, rod seals, gasket seals, hydraulic cylinder seals, etc.
6. Pneumatic seals: Pneumatic systems are also common in agricultural equipment, and pneumatic seals are used to prevent gas leakage. Common pneumatic seals include cylinder seals, piston seals and pneumatic valve seals.
7. Magnetic seals: Magnetic seals use magnetic force to achieve a sealing effect. They are often made of magnetic materials, such as magnetic rubber, which provide reliable sealing in agricultural equipment.
8. Dust-proof seals: Dust-proof seals are used to prevent dust, particles or other impurities from entering key components of agricultural equipment. These seals are typically found in bearings, drivetrains, rotating parts, etc.
