Guidelines for Rotary Lip Seal Selection, Application, and Installation Procedures
AIR7095
This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides information and guidelines on the selection and use of rotary lip seals for their expected duty cycle. Information on seal installation procedures is also included.
NOTE: This document does not address mechanical or magnetic face seals
Rationale: Rotary lip seals are widely used sealing devices in aerospace applications, but their application, functionality and operation may not be fully understood. Therefore, there is a need for a document which provides information on the various types of rotary lip seals and their application. This document fulfils that need.
