Popis: The effect of structural parameters such as contact width, low-angle, high-angle, interference and waist depth on the sealing performance of rotary lip seal was analyzed by finite element method. Based on the macroscopic pumping effect model of the rotary shaft lip seal and the pumping rate equation, the influence of structural parameters on pumping rate was calculated and analyzed. The structural and operational parameters of lip seal were optimized by the response surface method. 32 kinds of the model were made by compounding levels on each factor, and the response surface regression characteristics of each model are analyzed. The results show that low-angle, high-angle and interference are the main factors that influence significantly the seal performance of rotary shaft lip seal, and contact width, low-angle and high-angle are major influential factors for pumping effect. Therefore, these factors are considered as the most important factors for an optimum design of the rotary shaft lip seal. The optimal conditions are obtained, and the results are also verified by analytical methods.
