Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an electric discharge phenomenon, by forming an oil seal from a conductive rubber composite so as to form a conductive circuit via the oil seal between a housing and a shaft. CONSTITUTION:An oil seal is formed by using a conductive rubber composite for a surface layer in the sliding side of a main lip 6 and a dust lip part 7 of the sealing part pieces 5 consisting of a rubber composite. Accordingly, the oil seal electrically connects a housing with a rotary shaft through a reinforcing metallic plate material of annular shape and the main lip surface layer and the dust lip part formed by the conductive rubber composite, completely preventing a discharge phenomenon from being generated inside a rolling bearing.

As a means of applying a surface coating layer of a conductive rubber composition to an oil seal molded using a normal rubber composition, prior to molding the rubber part, a rubber material of a normal composition and a conductive composition are applied. After arranging the rubber material and performing two-layer molding, or roughening the surface to be coated of a rubber part molded from a normal rubber material by a method such as polishing or sputter etching, a liquid conductive rubber composition is formed. An effective method is to laminate the material by spraying or hand-painting with a brush.
