Description / Abstract:
Material Description. The radial lip seal
materials described in Table 1 are defined using the material
symbol representing the production intent seal construction for
single or dual materials. Table 2 through Table 5 provide further
characterization of the seal element properties using various
combinations of symbols to build a line callout. See Section 8.
Symbols. Materials shall be identified
according to SAE J2232 or VDA 260, except in the case of
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which will be identified using SAE
J1344, ISO 1043, or VDA 260.
Applicability. This standard provides an alpha
numeric system for specifying significant properties of seal
materials used in radial lip seal production drawings and in
Vehicle Technical Specifications, Component Technical
Specifications, Statement of Requirements, etc., in line callout
form, as shown in Section 8. It is intended for crankshaft and
camshaft seals used passenger car and light duty truck
applications.
Specific codes are used for each print specified material (both
primary and secondary lip). This applies to garter spring and
springless, low friction lay-down lip seal construction. See Figure
1 and Figure 2.
Remarks.Cure Systems.
For economic and/or performance reasons, the preferred lip seal
cure system is defined in Table 1. The table represents the current
Bill of Material for radial lip seals.
Seal compounds are characterized by their measured property
changes after exposure to the conditions of this standard. Test
fluid immersion time (168 h) is sufficient for compound property
changes to reach equilibrium (see 3.5) for prolonged test times
(e.g., 1008 h) yield similar results.
Qualifying Candidate Testing. Tests for primary
lips (contacting the shaft) shall include properties from Table 2
through Table 7. If the secondary or dust lip is a different
compound, use Table 3 through Table 7 (typically the front seal
only). Fluid resistance (Table 6) for engines, shall include O1 and
O2 as this is a global standard. Additional test fluids are at the
direction of the part responsible design release engineer as
designated in the Statement of Requirements (SOR) or Component
Technical Specification (VTS) documents.
