摘要:
An elastomeric seal (20), such as a shaft seal for automotive vehicle applications, includes an elastomeric compound (22) chemically coupled to a metal sealing ring (24) and is formed without an oven post curing step. The elastomeric seal (20) provides exceptional physical properties, similar to those of elastomeric seals of the prior art formed with an oven post curing step. The elastomeric seal (20) has an elastic modulus of 6.0 MPa to 13.0 MPa and a tensile strength of 11.1 MPa to 14.8 MPa. The elastomeric compound (22) includes 52.0 to 68.0 wt. % fluoroelastomer, 20.0 to 35.0 wt. % calcium silicate, and 5.0 to 15.0 wt. % diatomite. The elastomeric compound (22) is fully cured and chemically coupled to the metal sealing ring (24) during the compression or injection molding step, and thus an oven post curing step is not required.

A shaft seal or position sensor module assembly (10) includes a carrier body (12) that is mountable on a shaft housing about an opening through which a rotatable shaft extends. A sleeve (18) is mountable on the shaft and carries a multi-pole encoder ring (20) having a radially outwardly facing sensor surface. A magneto-resistive sensor (14) is mounted on the carrier body in position to communicate with the sensor surface of the encoder ring.

A metal gasket includes embossments that exhibit essentially full functional recovery and full retained internal stress at temperatures up to about 1000° F. which is made from sheet material that is cold rolled and whose embossments are work hardened without any post embossment heat treating that would act to harden the material. This material may also receive a precipitation hardening heat treatment prior to being embossed. The gasket materials include alloys having greater than about 18% Ni, greater than about 14% Cr, from about 0.1 to 10% of at least one of Mo, Ti, V, Al, Co, Nb, Ta or Cu and the balance Fe with incidental impurities, which are cold rolled without any post embossment heat treating that would act to harden the material.

A cylinder head compression sensor gasket assembly includes a gasket body having a sealing portion configured to be clamped between an engine block and a cylinder head. The sealing portion has a plurality of through openings configured to register with separate cylinder bore in the engine block wherein the sealing portion establishes a gas-tight seal about the through passages. A plurality of pressure sensor assemblies are attached in sealed engagement with the gasket body with at least one of the pressure sensor assemblies being configured to sense pressure within a separate one of the through openings. An electrical connector is supported on the gasket body radially outwardly from the sealing portion. The electrical connector is configured in electrical communication with each of the pressure sensor assemblies. Accordingly, the electrical connector is accessible without having to disassemble the gasket body from being clamped between the cylinder head and the engine block.

A compression sensor gasket assembly and method of construction thereof is provided. The compression sensor gasket assembly includes a gasket body having opposite sealing surfaces extending between an outer periphery and an inner periphery with the inner periphery bounding a through opening. The gasket body has a passage extending from the outer periphery through the inner periphery and a pressure sensor assembly releasably attached to the gasket body in the passage and being configured to sense pressure within the through opening. The pressure sensor assembly can be removed from the gasket body in service without having to disassemble clamped members from clamped abutment with the gasket assembly. Further, the pressure sensor assembly can be routed over a curved path extending between the outer and inner peripheries to navigate about features that may be present in the gasket body.

摘要:
A multilayer metal gasket (40) having first (28) and second (30) functional layers. Each layer (28, 30) includes an opening (34, 38) for sealing a fluid passage or combustion chamber. Each layer (28, 30) includes a folded lip or rim (50, 52) bent in opposite directions and overlapping one another in a nested configuration to form a labyrinth which serves also as the compression stopper feature for the gasket assembly (40). Sealing beads (42, 44) are formed in each layer (28, 30) and, preferably, are arranged to contact each other in crest-to-crest orientation to perfect a seal.
