Hydraulic seals and mechanical seals are both precision seals in machinery. When a layman looks at them, they will think that they are the same kind of object. There is no difference. Therefore, some customers have difficulty distinguishing which is hydraulic seal and which is mechanical seals. Today, I will give you a brief introduction to the classification and different applications of these two types of seals.

First of all, the classification of hydraulic seals and mechanical seals is different. The classification of hydraulic seal specifications and models includes U-shaped seals, Y-shaped seals, V-shaped seals, lip seals, YX-shaped seals and hydraulic cylinders. The commonly used combined seals are mainly lace rings and shaft grids. Rings and holes are sealed with ster seals and so on. The specifications and models of mechanical seals include cartridge seal series, light mechanical seal series, and heavy mechanical seal series.

This shows the difference in classification, and the definition between the two types of seals is also different. Mechanical seals are one of the basic mechanical components with precision and complex structure. They are key components of various pumps, reaction synthesis kettles, turbo compressors, submersible motors and other equipment. The performance and life of mechanical seals depend on a variety of key factors, such as type selection, machine accuracy, correct installation and use, etc. Mechanical seals generally have no pressure requirements, but are metal hard seals that seal the liquid to be sealed through the rotation of several seals; while hydraulic seals have pressure requirements, requiring a certain degree of smoothness on the combined surface, and the sealing elements are mostly rubber. The sealing effect is achieved through the local deformation of the seal. The material of the mechanical seal is metal, and the material of the hydraulic seal is rubber.
