A technique facilitates improved sealing with respect to safety valve pistons so as to improve reliable safety valve operation. According to an embodiment, a safety valve piston seal assembly is positioned about a safety valve piston and comprises components which divert a load path to the safety valve piston rather than to susceptible components of the seal assembly. For example, the seal assembly may comprise a load ring and spacers to energize a V-ring when pressure is applied to a metal spring energized (MSE) seal. However, the components are arranged so the load path is diverted to the safety valve piston when pressure occurs behind the V-ring instead of allowing the loading to act against the MSE seal.

A butterfly valve capable of preventing leakage under demanding environmental and operating conditions. The valve includes two stem seal assemblies. The stem seal assemblies include a first pusher, a first energizer, a second pusher, a second energizer, and a force transmitting member. The force transmitting member is configured to transfer an axial load to the second Pusher, which causes the first and second energizer to expand radially to create a secondary and tertiary seals between the stem seal assembly and valve stem. In addition, the force transmitting member is configured to transfer an axial load to the first pusher which creates a primary seal.

A hot gas exhaust recirculation valve includes a housing containing a duct for conducting gases, a drive chamber, and a valve stem which is mounted in the housing. The valve stem can be displaced in its longitudinal direction thereof and extends from the drive chamber into the duct. The end of the valve stem that is situated in the drive chamber is coupleable to a drive device. A closing body is fastened to the other end of the valve stem. The closing body is situated in the duct and has a closed position in which it separates an upstream section of the duct from a downstream section of the duct. A sealing ring surrounds the valve stem and is arranged between the duct and the drive chamber. The valve stem is supported within two bearing bushings that are spaced apart from each other, between which the sealing ring is arranged.

A component assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing and an actuating element that is rotatable about an axis. The assembly also includes an actuator which is configured to cause a rotation of the actuating element. The assembly further includes a rotatable shaft which extends along a shaft axis and is disposed between the actuating element and the actuator and which is coupled to the actuating element and the actuator. The shaft is guided through a first through opening in the housing. A sealing system is provided in a radial direction perpendicular to the shaft axis so as to be between the shaft and a first internal wall of the first through opening. The sealing system has a sealing element support having a first side and a second side that faces away from the first side. The sealing element support is fastened in the first through opening. The sealing element support has a second through opening having a second internal wall. The shaft is guided through the second through opening. A first sealing element is fastened in a locationally fixed manner to the sealing element support on the first side of the sealing element support. The first sealing element has a third through opening through which the shaft is guided. The first sealing element by way of a third internal wall of the third through opening bears in an encircling manner on the shaft. And the first sealing element is designed from felt.

A valve in which a backseat structure is formed at a height to easily prevent penetration of fluid with high accuracy from outside a bonnet to inhibit an increase in internal pressure. In a state in which a packing for sealing (5) is attached inside a bonnet (10) in a longneck structure, a stem (3) is axially inserted and a flow path (13) inside a valve box (2) is provided to be opened and closed by a valve body (4). The bonnet is divided into an upper bonnet (11) and a lower bonnet (12) at a position higher than a position at which a fluid flowing inside the valve box ascends in a liquid state. A backseat mechanism (42) has a fixed-side seal surface (21) formed on a lower end side of the upper bonnet and a movable-side seal surface (41) on an outer peripheral surface of the stem.

A valve cartridge for a sanitary fitting having a cartridge housing, a valve stem which is rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the cartridge housing, a handle for rotating the valve stem, a passage disk with a first passage and a second passage, a control disk rotatable with the valve stem for controlling a liquid flow through the first passage or the second passage of the passage disk, a handle adapter which can be connected to the valve stem for setting a first rotational orientation of the valve stem to the handle in a first position and can be connected to the valve stem for setting a second rotational orientation of the valve stem to the handle in a second position, so that the control of the flow of liquid through the first passage or the second passage can be changed by the control disk.

A process including: an assembly step of assembling a sealed case onto an existing pipe; a cutting step of forming a first opening of a groove shape elongated in a pipe axis direction of the existing pipe; a second boring step of forming a circular second opening at a position of the existing pipe that opposes the first opening; and an insertion step of inserting, in a valve-open state, a butterfly-shaped valve element that is integral with a valve rod, which runs through the first and second openings, into the existing pipe 1 through the first opening until a tip portion of the valve rod protrudes from the second opening.

A seal including a metal annular body having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the annular body including a main body portion including a first lip extending axially from the main body portion, the first lip adapted to provide a radial seal; and a second lip extending radially from the main body portion toward the outer diameter, the second lip adapted to provide an axial seal.
