Abstract
The behavior of contacting Mechanical face seals is analyzed. Stiffness and damping coefficients of the secondary seal, face friction, and seal inertia in the presence of eccentric operation and wobbling rotor are fully considered. It is shown that eccentric installation of the seal, relative to the rotor is a major vibration-inducing mechanism and should be minimized. A stability criterion is established for the dynamic angular tilting moments. This provides necessary parameters needed for the design of a stable seal.
