The role of spherical washers and the difference between different types

Function of Spherical Washers

Spherical washers are commonly used sealing elements installed at the connection of two mechanical parts to achieve a seal through spherical contact. Their role is to form an effective seal between the two parts to prevent media leakage and to withstand a particular workload.

The difference between different types of spherical washers

1. Shape and structure: The shape and structure of spherical washers can be divided into round, square, and so on, with round being more common. In addition, spherical washers can also be divided into internal spherical washers and external spherical washers according to their connection with other parts.

2. Material: The spherical washer's sealing performance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are directly related to its material. Common spherical washer materials are rubber, polyurethane, polyester film, fluorine rubber, etc. Different materials are suitable for various working environments.

3. Application scenarios: Because of the sealing performance of spherical washers, they are widely used in machinery, chemical industry, food, medical equipment, and other fields. There is a big difference in the spherical washers needed in different scenes.

How to choose the suitable spherical washer

Correct selection of spherical washers needs to consider the following aspects:

1. Working environment: Select the appropriate material and sealing method according to the requirements of the working environment.

2. Working temperature: The material of the spherical washer is at different temperatures, and there are differences in performance, so you need to choose the appropriate material according to the specific working temperature.

3. Working pressure: Select the spherical gasket with the corresponding pressure capacity based on the required working pressure.

4. Surface roughness: spherical washers in the selection of surface roughness also need to be considered with the surface to ensure the gasket and the matching effect of the paired parts.

In short, correctly selecting the applicable spherical gasket is vital to ensuring the caliber of the perfect seal between the mechanical parts and protecting the production line for a more extended period of stable operation.

The correct selection of the applicable spherical gasket is essential to ensure the sealing of mechanical joints and guarantee the production line's stable operation. When selecting spherical gaskets, it is necessary to carefully consider factors such as working environment, working temperature, working pressure, and surface roughness to achieve the best sealing effect.
