Swellable metal sealing elements and methods for forming a seal in a wellbore using said swellable metal sealing elements. An example method comprises providing a swellable metal sealing element selected from the group consisting of an O-ring, a gasket, or a seal stack; wherein the swellable metal sealing element is disposed in or around a downhole tool disposed in the wellbore. The method further comprises exposing the swellable metal sealing element to a brine and allowing or causing to allow the swellable metal sealing element to swell.

A robot sealing structure including a shaft end face of a reducer, an attachment surface of an arm member that is to be in surface contact with the shaft end face, a number of bolts that fix the shaft and the arm member to each other in a state in which the shaft end face and the attachment surface are in surface contact; a recessed flat portion that is provided in part of one of the shaft end face and the attachment surface, and a seal member that is disposed on the recessed flat portion, where the recessed flat portion is a portion recessed in a direction along the center axis line of the shaft, with respect to the shaft end face or the attachment surface, and the recessed flat portion is continuous over an entire circumference around the center axis line.

A sealing lid for sealing a compartment of a supercapacitor housing electrodes and electrolytic material is described, the supercapacitor comprises: a casing internally defining the compartment and having a longitudinal axis, a side wall extending around the longitudinal axis, an axial bottom wall and an axial opening for accessing to the compartment arranged on an axially opposite side of the side wall with respect to the end wall; and at least one terminal electrically connected to one of the electrodes and protruding outside the compartment through the axial opening; the lid is adapted to close the axial opening and comprises an elastomeric element having: an internal through-hole adapted to receive the terminal and delimited by an internal wall adapted to cooperate in fluid-tight contact with the terminal; and a peripheral wall adapted to cooperate in fluid-tight contact with the side wall.

A gasket has a plurality of gasket members including annular reinforcing rings formed around respective axes and annular elastic body parts that are formed around the respective axes and that are formed from elastic bodies attached to the respective reinforcing rings. Outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of the reinforcing rings are close to each other, and the plurality of the elastic body parts are joined together.

A gasket is provided which gives stable sealing performance even when an insertion member is inclined with respect to an insertion hole. The gasket includes a body portion 121 which is to be fixed in close contact with an inner peripheral surface of an insertion hole 810 while being spaced apart from an insertion member 900, and a flexible portion 122 which is flexurally deformable and provided to extend from the body portion 121 toward an inner peripheral surface side of the body portion 121. The flexible portion 122 is flexurally bent by being pressed by an extended surface portion 920 of the insertion member 900 and comes into close contact with the extended surface portion 920 while being spaced apart from each of a housing 800 and the insertion portion 910.

A sealing device includes a reinforcing ring formed annularly around an axis and an elastic body part that is formed from an elastic body attached to the reinforcing ring and that is formed annularly around the axis. The reinforcing ring includes a tubular portion having a cylindrical shape around the axis and a flange projecting annularly from an outer end portion of the tubular portion to an inner periphery side. The elastic body part includes a lip portion that is an annular portion covering the flange from an outer side, projecting from the flange toward the outer side in a direction of the axis, and projecting toward the inner periphery side in a radial direction. The lip portion includes a seal lip portion that is an annular portion projecting toward the outer side in the direction of the axis and a secondary lip portion that is an annular portion projecting toward an inner side in the direction of the axis.

Methods and systems are provided for a sealing device. In one example, a seal comprises a plurality of radial features and a plurality of axial features extending from a cylindrical body, the cylindrical body comprises a first material and a second material, wherein the second material is stiffer than the first material.

Gasket seals for high pressure applications include retaining elements with inner diameter seal elements that interlock with the retaining element to provide resistance to movement in both axial and radial directions between the retaining element and seal element. High pressure sealing may be accomplished using a metallic core retaining element to which an electrically isolating material is bonded on either or both sides. Sealing is achieved through an inner diameter dielectric sealing element, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) inner diameter sealing ring. Flanges of a joint in a fluid flow ling may be bolted together with the gasket seal interposed therebetween. In the event of pressure changes, the inner diameter seal resists being drawn into the flow line, and resists axial movement relative to the retaining element, through dual locking members that secure the seal to the retaining element.

A gasket is provided which gives stable sealing performance even when an insertion member is inclined with respect to an insertion hole. The gasket includes a body portion 121 which is to be fixed in close contact with an inner peripheral surface of an insertion hole 810 while being spaced apart from an insertion member 900, and a flexible portion 122 which is flexurally deformable and provided to extend from the body portion 121 toward an inner peripheral surface side of the body portion 121. The flexible portion 122 is flexurally bent by being pressed by an extended surface portion 920 of the insertion member 900 and comes into close contact with the extended surface portion 920 while being spaced apart from each of a housing 800 and the insertion portion 910.

The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant and fire-resistant foam-based seal in the joint between adjacent panels. A fire-resistant and water-resistant expansion joint seal is provided which includes one or more foam members and a plurality of intumescent members interspersed within the foam member or members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance.
