MEASUREMENT OF SURFACE
TEXTURE AND LEAD ANGLE OF
SHAFTS FOR ROTARY DYNAMIC
SEALING

Date
VAI

INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

• Rotary dynamic sealing applications in the

manufacturing, automotive, and other industries depend
upon the fit between the shaft and the seals to avoid
leakage and premature wear that can reduce
performance and service life. Most applications require
precision measurements of the surface texture of the
shaft, as well as the presence of spiral grooves on the
shaft, known as “lead angle,” that can result in leakage.
 INTRODUCTION

• Surface roughness is traditionally measured with a stylus

profilometer, also called a “contact profilometer,” while
shaft lead angle is measured by winding a string around
the shaft and observing its movement as the shaft
rotates. White-light interferometer is a relatively new
proven and quantifiable approach . Excessive roughness
on the shaft can cause rapid wear on the seal, resulting
in leakage. On the other hand, if the shaft is too smooth,
the seal will not bed correctly, which will also lead to
leakage.
• In initial stage OD grinding
operation is doing on center less
grinding machine, but texture is 1ST STAGE
not ok, no coolant filtration due CENTERLESS
