NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) which is identical with ISO 6194-1 : 2007 'Rotary shaft lip-type seals incorporating
elastomeric sealing elements - Part 1: Nominal dimensions and tolerances' issued by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation
of the Gaskets and Packing Sectional Committee and approval of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

This standard supersedes IS 5129 (Part 1) : 2000 'Rotary shaft lip-type seals : Part 1 Nominal dimensions and
tolerances' .

ISO 6194 consists of five parts , under the general title rotary shaft lip-type seals incorporating elastomeric
sealing elements. Other parts are as follows:
Part 2 Vocabulary
Part 3 Storage, handling and installation
Part 4 Performance test procedures
Part 5 Identification of visual imperfections

The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly
drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as
'Indian Standard'.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard while in Indian Standards ,
the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.

In the adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Stanliards also
exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their places are listed below along
with their degree of equivalence forthe editions indicated:

 151150 6194-1 : 2007

The sealing lip arrangements shown in Figure 2 can be used with each seal outside-diameter construction
shown in Figure 1.

Hydrodynamic aids on the main lip may be incorporated by some manufacturers in certain applications .

The design of the sealing lip should be agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser.

NOTE In view of some variations in design detail, or seals made by different manufacturers, the constructions shown
are intended only as representative examples of the basic types.

6 Pressure and nominal dimensions

6.1 Pressure
Seals of this type are normally used with atmospheric pressure on the air side, and sealing fluids at pressures
from 0 kPa to 30 kPa (0,3 bar) above atmospheric pressure. The user should consult the seal manufacturer
regarding use at other pressures.

6.2 Nominal dimensions

Assembly tools are specified in ISO 6194-3 and should be used to ensure that the sealing lip is not damaged.

If a radius is used instead of a lead-in chamfer, its value shall be between 1,8 mm and 3,0 mm .

7.2 Diametral tolerance

The shaft shall have a diametral tolerance not greater than h11 (see ISO 286-2) .

 ISIISO 6194-1 : 2007

7.3 Surface roughness and hardness

7.3.1 Surface roughness

The seal contact surface of a ground shaft shall be finished to a surface roughness, measured in the axial
direction of between Ra 0,2 ~m and Ra 0,5 um, and between Rz 1,2 pm and Rz 3,0 um.

Some surface finish processes will not provide roughness values that fall within the limits given in this part of
ISO 6194. Surface roughness requirements shall be determined between the manufacturer of the surface and
the seal supplier.

The seal contact surface shall normally be free of machining leads.

Ground and polished shafts may require other grades of surface texture, in which case they should be subject
to agreement between the manufacturer and user.

Exceptional service conditions may necessitate the selection of other grades of surface texture, in which case
they should be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and user.

7.3.2 Surface hardness

Unless otherwise agreed on between the manufacturer and user, the surface hardness of the shaft should be
a minimum of 30 Rockwell C. If the shaft could be subject to damage during handling, this should be
increased to 45 Rockwell C.

8 Housings

8.1 Dimensions

8.1.1 Where the housing is a rigid fully machined ferrous part, the housing bore shall conform to 8.2 and 8.3.

8.1.2 The housing bore shall be provided with a lead-in chamfer, free from burrs, as shown in Figure 5 and
specified in Table 3.

8.1.3 The housing-bore depth and corner radius shall be as shown in Figure 5 and specified in Table 3.

If the housing is not in accordance with 8.1.1 to 8.1.3 (e.g. non-ferrous or non-metallic material, pressing of
ferrous or non-ferrous material), the dimensions, tolerances and lead-in configuration should be agreed
between the purchaser and manufacturer.

8.2 Housing-bore tolerance

The housing bore shall have -a diametral tolerance not greater than H8 (see ISO 286-2) .

8.3 Housing-bore surface roughness

The surface roughness of the housing bore, measured in the axial direct ion, shall be between Ra 1,6 IJm and
Ra 3,2 IJm, and between Rz 6,3 IJm and Rz 12,5 IJm.

No visible surface imperfections are allowed .

The housing-bore surface roughness may require lower values when metal cased seals are used, in which
case they should be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and user.

9.2 Seal outside diameter

To provide an interference-fit between the seal outside surface and -the housing-bore surface, the
recommended tolerances for the outside diameter of the seal shall be as shown in Table 5.

The seal outside diameter tolerances in Table 5 are to be used for ferrous housings only. If non-ferrous
housing materials are used, the seal manufacturer shall be consulted. The seal manufacturer provides the
proper recommendations regarding the interference fit between the seal and the non-ferrous housing.

NOTE Since the interference between the seal outside surface and the housing-bore surface is a characteristic
related. to the design of the seal, it may be necessary for agreement to be reached between the purchaser and
manufacturer on the limits to be used. See Annex A for the recommended form.
