TGU Sealing Technology bridges the gap between the research laboratory and industrial practice – as a specialist service provider for sealing technology.
At the Institute of Machine Components (IMA) of the University of Stuttgart, sealing technology is researched and continuously advanced at the highest scientific level. We create the link between this fundamental research and your industrial application: with our own test rig infrastructure, in-house measurement devices, and a team with direct access to IMA, we provide industry clients with the expertise that emerges at the interface of research and practice.
From failure analysis and standardized testing to metrological characterization – you benefit from the fact that our knowledge and instruments are always at the cutting edge of research.
Macro lead – 3D analysis
Surface topography
Roughness measurement
The counter surface of a radial shaft seal is critical to sealing performance. Lead and roughness significantly influence whether a sealing system maintains its seal or fails.
Our measurement methods capture micro lead, macro lead and roughness of the shaft in a single step quantitatively, visualizing them in impressive 3D representations and meaningful measurement reports.
