Definition and characteristics of pan plug seal

Spring Seal/ spring energized seal/ Variseal is a U-shaped Teflon high-performance seal with a special spring inside. By the appropriate spring force plus the system fluid pressure, the sealing lip (surface) is pushed out. Gently press down on the metal surface being sealed to create a very good seal. The actuation effect of the spring can overcome the slight eccentricity of the metal mating surface and the wear of the sealing lip, while maintaining the expected sealing performance. Compared with other seals, it has the following characteristics:

◈The sealing performance is not affected by insufficient lubrication at start-up;

◈ Effectively reduce wear and friction resistance;

◈Through the combination of different sealing materials and springs, different sealing forces can be displayed to meet various application requirements. It is made by special CNC machining machine, and there is no mold cost-especially suitable for a small amount of various seals;

◈The chemical corrosion resistance and heat resistance are far superior to the commonly used seal rubbers, the dimensions are stable, and there is no deterioration of the sealing performance caused by volume expansion or shrinkage;

◈ Compact structure, can be installed in standard O-ring groove;

◈ Greatly improve the sealing ability and service life;

◈The groove of the seal can be filled with any anti-pollution material (such as silicone) - but not suitable for radiation environments;

◈ Because the sealing material is Teflon, it is very clean and will not pollute the process. The friction coefficient is extremely low, and it is very smooth even in extremely low-speed applications, and there is no "slip effect";

◈The starting friction resistance is small, even if the shutdown time is long or intermittent operation, the low starting power performance can be maintained.

 

Pan plug sealing principle

The PTFE leaf spring combination U-shaped seal (pan plug seal) is combined with the appropriate spring tension and the system fluid pressure to push the sealing lip out and lightly press the sealed metal surface to form a very good sealing effect.
