Spring Energized Seal Cuts The Chatter - Darcoid Case Studies

gfx_style25

The Situation

The product owner for a leading manufacturer of micro fluid metering equipment was facing a significant reliability problem threatening their market leading position.  A critical linear rod seal was causing high breakout friction and "dithering"

 

The Ask

They researched online and asked us to provide a generic/standard profile PTFE/Spring energized seal.  Their goal was to eliminate dither/chatter thus allowing them to continue using their existing servo motor while preventing fluid leaking across the seal.

 

The Success

Projected results show dithering is eliminated without damaging servo motor.  As a result the customer expects  30% improvement in metering accuracy and >25% improvement in uptime reliability.

Ongoing predictable seal performance is assured regardless of influences inside and outside the supply chain by deploying Darcoid’s Seal Performance Creep controls
