Hi, everyone
I am a long time reader but this might be my first post. I am currently in a Senior Design Project and doing research for my project.
I am doing a rotating shaft with flow through the middle of the shaft to a exiting hole on the other side radially out the shaft. ( I can explain more later if needed ) One end of the shaft is enclosed, so it needs to be sealed so no leakage is allowed. It will then exit a meter on the enclosed section.
The requirement that I am looking for is seals for 30k+ RPM. 50-100 psi. This is for the shaft.
I have looked into labyrinth seals and carbon seals. Would this be a right assumption?
Is there any other seals that would do?
Does anyone have knowledge of motors that spin 30k+ RPM?
I was think a gearing up a electric motor or use a air driven motor. The torque that is needed should not be that much since it is not driving anything but the shaft and bearing friction.
Any hints or toward a direction is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
