Abstract (2. Language):
The effects of lubricant on frictional characteristics of a radial lip seal are investigated by experiments. For this reason a test system has been developed. In this test system a cylinder is placed on four load cells in order to monitor the friction torque generated between seal and counter face. A group of experiments are cried out with nitrile butadiene rubber based radial lip seals. EP gear oil, hydraulic brake fluid and transmission oil are selected as lubricants. The seals are tested under atmospheric pressure, 0.5 and 1 bar for a short period. The friction torque was measured and compared for different lubricants. As a result, it is observed that lubricant types affect seal friction torques in different ratios.
