Abstract

A rotary shaft lip seal operates with a lubricant film separating the seal from the shaft. In this paper the authors present experimental measurements of under‐lip temperatures which show that there is an optimum shaft surface roughness, and present thermal solutions for various convective heat transfer conditions which illustrate that the shaft conductivity is the predominant factor which affects the under‐lip temperature.
