Roughness Inspection of Hydraulics Sealing Seat
Executive Summary
The performance and longevity of hydraulic systems depend heavily on the precision and surface quality of sealing interfaces. EDM Intelligent Solutions offers high-resolution, non-contact 3D metrology services tailored to evaluate complex sealing geometries. This report presents a case study on surface roughness analysis of a stainless steel hydraulics sealing seat using our MVi5 3D Metrology Center.
Overview of 3D Metrology Capabilities
Using advanced 3D scanning systems, EDM Intelligent Solutions provides quantitative analysis of surface textures and geometric conformity. Our non-contact measurement technology is especially valuable for sensitive or high-precision components where traditional tactile methods may introduce damage.
Key capabilities include:
- High-resolution 3D scanning at µm scale
- Surface roughness parameter extraction from 3D profiles
- Non-destructive inspection of critical hydraulic components
- Capability to inspect recessed and complex geometry features
Application Case Study: Hydraulics Sealing Seat
Component Overview
- Type: Hydraulics Sealing Seat
- Material: Stainless Steel
- Metrology System: MVi5 3D Metrology Center
- Metrology Services: Surface Roughness Measurement
Inspection Process
A complete 3D scan of the sealing seat was performed using the MVi5 3D Metrology Center. From this scan, 3D surface profiles were extracted at critical interface zones to assess surface roughness parameters, such as Ra and Rz. These parameters are used to evaluate the sealing effectiveness, wear characteristics, and fluid retention capability of the surface.
