LENS GASKETS

The proven high-pressure gaskets

Lens gaskets are reusable, as the sealing effect is generally We can also specially produce bellows lenses, lens blind spec-
achieved by elastic deformation of the surfaces. tacle gaskets and half-lenses.
The projected sealing width bG is calculated in relation to the Lens blind spectacle gaskets are made of a sealing lens and a
angle a, which forms the sealing surface against the direction of lens blind, which are connected by a ligament. It is also usual to
the force (tubular axis) depending on the E modulus EG and the use lens blinds on their own. In this case, it is useful to weld on
surface pressure exerted by a small plate to render the lens blind distinguishable.
bG = 100 σ / EG · r · sinα.
