Hi all,
I have a problem at work, I have been asked to work out the resonant frequency of an assembly within our mechanical face seal.
We have a mass (the face) attached to springs that are preloaded. The springs are fixed at the other end and the face is also pressed up against the seat.
The seal works by maintaning a force between the seat and face so liquid cannot escape, but allows the two face to rotate against each other. The springs provide a constant load under dynamic conditions.
The problem I am having is that I have no experience within resonant frequencies and the formula I keep finding does not account for preload or the boundary conditions.
f=1/(2*PI)*SQRT(k/M)
Please help
