EQYO - A Saint-Gobain Brand

What exactly is leakage, and why is preventing it the primary purpose of every seal? Benjamin breaks down the engineering term leakage and explains how seals act as critical barriers between two environments. Discover what happens when a seal can no longer effectively block the flow of fluids, gases, or contaminants, and why even small amounts of leakage can have significant consequences for system performance. Using a practical sealing application as an example, Benjamin explains the potential leakage paths in dynamic sealing systems and highlights the challenges engineers face when designing seals for demanding operating conditions. Whether the result is lubricant loss, contamination ingress, or pressure loss, understanding leakage is essential to designing reliable and efficient systems. At EQYO, understanding leakage mechanisms is a fundamental part of seal development and validation. Through advanced testing and engineering expertise, we develop sealing solutions that help ensure reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial applications. Allowing just as much leakage as the system requires.

Why is temperature one of the most critical factors for sealing performance? Benjamin takes you inside EQYO's in-house Tech-Center and explains how our engineers measure temperatures directly on seal test rigs to better understand seal behavior under demanding operating conditions. Discover why measuring temperature beneath the sealing lip is essential, how friction generates heat at the sealing interface, and why excessive temperatures can ultimately lead to seal failure. At EQYO, advanced testing capabilities and engineering expertise help transform performance data into robust sealing solutions. By understanding the thermal behavior of seals under real operating conditions, we can develop products that deliver reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial applications.

In our joint session, More Than Components: Solving Surgical Robotics Challenges Through Integrated Expertise, Ken Smith from EQYO will join experts from across Saint-Gobain to explore how different technologies and engineering disciplines can work together to address the demands of surgical robotic systems. 📅 September 16 2026 ⏰ 11:50 AM ET｜ 5:50 PM CET 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gnECyTYD #SurgicalRobotics #MechanicalEngineering #SaintGobain

How do engineers determine whether a seal is performing reliably or heading toward failure? Benjamin explains how seal leakage is measured and analyzed to evaluate sealing performance under real-world operating conditions. Discover how even the smallest amount of leakage can be detected, measured, and monitored throughout an entire test cycle. Learn how engineers identify the exact conditions that cause a seal to leak and how functional and endurance testing help uncover potential failure mechanisms before they become critical issues. From the first detectable drop to complete seal failure, precision leakage measurement provides valuable insights into seal reliability and performance. At EQYO, sealing performance is validated through comprehensive testing and engineering expertise. Understanding leakage behavior helps ensure reliable operation in safety-critical and demanding applications across automotive and industrial markets.
