How is this shaft diameter calculated?
Thread Content
Based on shaft diameter, they are classified into mechanical seals for large shaft diameters, mechanical seals for standard shaft diameters, and mechanical seals for small shaft diameters. Generally, mechanical seals rely on the fit between a shaft sleeve and a shaft; in this case, should the shaft diameter refer only to that of the shaft itself, or should it include the size of the shaft sleeve as well?
So many questions at once; usually, what’s referred to is the diameter of the shaft!
In my opinion, it should be the outer diameter of the bushing! Because the inner diameter of mechanical seals is determined based on the outer diameter of the shaft sleeve!
