Manufacturing Methods and Technology (MANTECH) Program. Hybrid Elastomeric Seals

Abstract

Manufacturing technology has been developed for the production of hybrid elastomer seals to be used as input seals for current and advanced helicopter transmissions. Methods for manufacturing and assembling the seal components have proven successful and can be employed for lot sizes of 500 to 1000 units without modification. Two seals were chosen to represent the range of sizes presently used in the application of elastomeric lip seals. These seals were examined under this program to formulate the necessary manufacturing techniques and processes.
