Contact Pressure of a Rubber Cuff on a Shaft

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The pressure between a shaft and a reinforced rubber cuff (a lip seal) is considered. An algorithm is derived for calculating the contact pressure, taking account of the properties of the material, the thickness of the cuff’s active section, its inclination to the shaft, the spring’s tensile force, and the geometric parameters of the cuff’s free section.
