In an exemplary embodiment, a seal device () that seals between a housing () and a rotation shaft () passing through the housing () includes: a floating ring () arranged with a gap h with respect to the rotation shaft (), a seal portion () formed by bringing one end face of the floating ring () into contact with the housing (), and a space portion j provided between the floating ring () and the housing (), and the floating ring () includes bias means that contactlessly biases the floating ring () to the seal portion via the space portion j. The seal device in which the floating ring follows movement of the rotation shaft is capable of exerting a sealing operation so that vibration of the rotation shaft can be reduced.

Seal device

A sealing device includes a floating ring in a space between the outer circumference of a rotating shaft and the inner circumference of a housing, and a multi-layered cylindrical body including a plurality of elastically deformable cylindrical thin plates layered on top of each other provided between an outer peripheral surface of the floating ring and an inner peripheral surface of the housing, so as to impart a radial restoring force against the eccentricity of the rotating shaft to restore it to its center position, and a tangential damping force to reduce the whirling of the rotating shaft.

In an exemplary embodiment, a seal devicethat seals between a housingand a rotation shaftpassing through the housingincludes a floating ringarranged with a gap h with respect to the rotation shaft, wherein the floating ringincludes at least one supporting meansthat supports in the circumferential direction. In the seal device, the floating ring follows movement of the rotation shaft even upon running for a long time, a clearance between the rotation shaft and the seal ring can be properly held, and the sealing operation by the floating ring and the vibration damping function can be exerted, and the seal device is easily assembled.

A seal segment includes a retainer extending in a circumferential direction of a rotary shaft on an outer circumferential side of the rotary shaft; a first seal body which has a plurality of first thin plate seal pieces extending inward in a radial direction from the retainer and laminated in the circumferential direction; a high-pressure side plate; a low-pressure side plate; and a second seal body having a plurality of second thin plate seal pieces which are laminated at an end portion of the retainer in the circumferential direction, extend inward in the radial direction, and have fluttering resistance higher than the first thin plate seal piece. The high-pressure side plate and the low-pressure side plate cover at least a part of the second seal body in the circumferential direction.

Seal segment and rotary machine

Provided is a split type brush seal device, brush seal pieces, and a method of assembling a split type brush seal device in which the brush seal pieces can be applied to an attached portion having an acceptable curvature. The split type brush seal device includes plural brush seal pieces having bundled wire rods, and attached members in which the plural brush seal pieces are attached to attached portions in the circumferential direction. Each of the brush seal pieces has a plate of arc shape to which the bundled wire rods are fixed. The split type brush seal device further includes a biasing member that forcibly cause a curvature of the plate to approximate to a curvature of the attached portion.
