The felt bowl can be called a type of seal. The felt bowl is considered as a sealant in the industry; It means those materials that are used to insulate and coat surfaces. The felt bowl also has applications in the automotive industry, including the input and output of gearboxes, valves, crankshafts, steering valves, and valves.
What are the things to be careful about in choosing the right bowl?
When choosing, buying a suitable felt bowl, parameters such as the type of lubricant (oil or grease), rotational speed, shaft position (horizontal or vertical) and the possibility of its misalignment, the amount of available space, the friction of the felt bowl and the resulting heat, and the working environment should be considered. The felt bowl may be integrated with the bearing or separate from it on the outside of the bearing.
The bowl components:
The felt bowl is a piece consisting of three spring pieces, a metal bowl-shaped washer and compressed felt, which prevents the leakage of fluids in mechanical parts and also prevents the infiltration of dust into mechanical parts. But today, in general, any of the round rubber washers in different sizes that are used in various mechanical devices such as car engines to prevent oil from leaking out are called felt bowls. It can be said that wherever there is rotation, there is also a felt bowl, that is, the felt bowl is placed in front of the bearing so that the liquid or any fluid inside the engine or device does not escape from it. To get the best performance from the felt bowl, we must examine the environmental conditions.
The bowl of the bowl
Felt bowls are made from a combination of plastic materials and metals, so that it can withstand various conditions such as high temperature and pressure, chemicals and acidic and alkaline environments, and not suffer from wear and corrosion because any wear and tear will cause oil leakage. It will be.
Casket
It is better to visit and check the felt bowl during periodic services because early detection and correction of possible defects will save maintenance costs. When oil leaks around the shock absorber, it means that this part is damaged. Lack of sufficient amount of oil in the differential, wear and tear of parts, rotting of rubber gaskets or loss of their standard condition, damage to gears, poor quality of raw materials during production, failure to install correctly in place can cause damage to the felt bowl. p>
Important points when buying a bowl
There are things that must be considered when buying a felt bowl. One of the most important things to pay attention to when buying a felt bowl is the outer diameter of the felt bowl, the cover of the felt bowl, and also the auxiliary hydrodynamic design. Another thing that you should pay attention to when buying different types of felt bowls is the spiral grooves because this item can have a great impact on the sealing of the felt bowl.
