Abstract

This paper describes optimal design of the sealing segments of the linear hydraulic motor plunger from horizontal Hydraulic Press – 2 MN. The analysis of the sealing segments was made for determination of stresses, displacements, deformations and the factors of safety distribution. A three-dimensional model of the sealing segments was generated based on the designed data. Finite elements analysis was performed using COSMOSWorks software. This software tool allows to quickly determine optimal design parameters using computational simulation. The simulation results were evaluated and compared to the experimental data. Results show that the established FEM model provides useful information for the sealing segments optimal design.
