- the fluid storage chamber side A has a high pressure.
- the contact inner peripheral edge 38a (lip tip) contacts the rotating shaft 29 evenly with a large contact surface pressure P over the entire circumference (360 °). This makes it difficult for the lubricating oil in the sealing fluid to enter (introduce) the interface between the rotating shaft 29 and the contact inner peripheral edge 38a, and promotes wear of the contact inner peripheral edge 38a.
- the inner peripheral edge 38a of the contact gradually wears, the sealability (sealability) deteriorates abruptly, and external leakage of the fluid occurs.
- the tip (inner peripheral edge 38a) force of the rubber lip 38 is strongly pressed against the rotating shaft 29, and is uniformly pressed over the entire circumference of the rotating shaft 29. Therefore, the lubricating oil in the fluid such as refrigerant cannot enter the tip (the interface between the inner peripheral edge 38a and the rotary shaft 29, increases the frictional resistance, generates heat, and accompanying this, the tip of the lip 38 The part (inner peripheral edge 38a) wears out early.
