Abstract
Current knowledge of the principles of rotary lip seal operation is assesse d through a review of the experimental foundation and the key theoretical m odels. Studies of the existence of the lubricating film, the load support m echanism, the sealing mechanism, the thermal effects and the follow ability are described.
