Mechanical seals are leakage control devices, which are found on rotating
equipment such as pumps and mixers to prevent the leakage of liquids and gases
from escaping into the environment. A mechanical face seal is an important
component of variety of pumps used in chemical, petrochemical and process
industry.
 The seal is designed to fit around the shaft or some part connecting to the shaft in
a way such that the leakage between the two regions is acceptably small under all
circumstances of operation.

Wherever the rotating shafts are used, shaft seals find their place with them.
Generally rotating shafts either run into fluids where the fluid is sealed by the shaft
seal or are supported by bearings, which are in turn sealed by a shaft seal. Thus
almost all rotating equipment require a shaft seal.

The various types of mechanical equipment that utilize shaft seals are as follows:

 Aerospace industries where motors and engines in rockets and turbo jets.
 Water pumps used in irrigation, pumping of fertilizers and insecticides.
 Swimming pool pumps and garbage disposal pumps, dishwashers and washing
machines use small sealed pumps.
 Water turbines, steam turbines, feed pumps, and nuclear reactor cooling pumps.
 The petroleum, chemical, textile and drug industries all use pumps extensively in
their respective processes.
 All automotive engines, compressors, air conditioners.
 Ship propeller shafts as well as its auxiliary equipment in ship yards.

 The sliding clamp is manually placed in the T-slot and screwed against the die
clamping edge. Once the high-pressure spindle has been adjusted to suit the
height of the clamping edge, the clamping force is built up by turning the hexagon
nut in a clockwise direction. The clamping force achieved depends on the
tightening torque selected with the torque wrench. If the parts are not rigid,
tighten the high-pressure spindle using the hexagon nut until there is no play.

Applications:

 For clamping and locking dies on press beds and rams

 On beds of machine tools
 When the available space is limited

Solidworks Model 3

SolidWorks is a 3D solid modelling package which allows users to develop full solid
models in a simulated environment for both design and analysis. Designing in a
modelling package such as SolidWorks is beneficial because it saves time, effort,
and money that would otherwise be spent prototyping the design. SolidWorks
software provides users with an intuitive 3D experience that maximizes the
productivity of your design and engineering resources to create better products
faster, and more cost-effectively.
Today, most manufacturers of automobiles, arm and construction equipment,
recreational
vehicles and other gasket-using equipment apply three-dimensional (3D)
computer-aided
design (CAD) software to create product models. The technology allows designers
to produce engine and ultimately whole vehicle designs solely on computers. By
modelling in three dimensions, the designers can do electronically all the spatial
fitting of a components with respect to clearances and tolerances, avoiding a lot of
rework on actual hardware.

CAD software supplies the tools for both design and manufacturing to create and
explore various shapes, mechanisms, and structures. The software enables all the
geometries to effectively communicate together. In turn, you are able to view and
troubleshoot a concept without prototyping, cutting, forming, etc. Solid models
are characterized by the definition of 3D volumes, both interior and exterior. In
addition to volume and mass property data, Solid models usually provide cross
section and interference detection.
