Choice of Structural Parameters of Rotary Seal Made from MR-Material

The structural parameters of an elastic porous material MR used for perspective rotary seals, are analyzed in this article. The porosity value range, also as the wire diameter and the thickness of the elastic sealing element were determinated. It is clearly justified the necessity of additional research of flow characteristics of porous elastic sealing elements made of MR-material. The results of experimental studies of characteristics of rotor seals made of an elastic porous MR- material are also given.
