Abstract
A face seal model is analyzed, taking into account both diametral tilt and coning of the primary seal ring. The Reynolds equation for incompressible fluid is solved analytically using the narrow seal approximation. The solution covers a wide range of tilt and coning angles, from complete alignment to touch-down. Seal performance like axial force, tilting moment, axial and angular stiffness, and leakage are analyzed. It is found that interaction between diametral tilt and coning strongly affects seal performance.
