Magnetic fluid (ferrofluid) fills a small annular gap between a rotating shaft and a stationary magnetic pole piece. The gap is part of a high-energy magnetic circuit which includes the shaft and pole piece. The very large magnetic flux in the gap exerts a force on the fluid, holding it in place against pressure difference from atmosphere to vacuum, yielding a dynamic rotary seal in which there is no solid friction. Therefore, very long operating lifetimes are achieved.

Because the magnetic fluid has very low vapor pressure, it remains permanently in place for the entire lifetime of the seal, and does not contaminate the system. Some applications have special requirements (high temperature, highly reactive gases) which can be satisfied by selection of the optimum fluid from our family of fluid materials.

To select a feedthrough for a new application, locate the table for the appropriate shaft mounting style (through-hole, flanged, or bore mount). Dimensional and performance information is tabulated and keyed to an outline drawing.

To identify the Magnaseal direct replacement for a Ferrofluidics Corp. product, locate the FFC Part Number/Model Number at the bottom of each column of tabulated data. For FFC products not listed, or for application engineering assistance or information beyond the scope of the tabulated data, please contact Rigaku Vacuum Products.
