TS ISO 6194-2

TS ISO 6194-2 is a vocabulary standard for rotary shaft lip-type seals incorporating elastomeric sealing elements. It brings together the technical terms used to describe this seal family, its parts and related handling concepts, so that designers, manufacturers and users apply the same terminology with the same meaning.

What this vocabulary covers

According to the scope, the terminology includes seal types, the various parts of the sealing element, tolerances and fits, storage and handling, installation, visible changes and defects, and general performance test procedures. In a vocabulary standard, the primary purpose is consistency of language rather than prescribing a new design rule or a separate test requirement for the product itself.

In general technical terms, rotary shaft lip seals are used around rotating shafts to help retain lubricants and exclude contaminants. The elastomeric lip provides the compliant contact needed to follow the shaft surface, so surface finish, assembly method and operating conditions all matter to sealing behavior. This standard supports accurate naming and clearer communication across documentation, procurement and engineering practice.

The referenced application context indicates use under low-pressure conditions, which matches the common operating range for many lip seals. The document itself functions as a terminology reference for this product family; detailed performance limits and fuller definitions belong to the related base standard and cited references.

• Provides common terminology for rotary shaft lip-type seals.
