Typical lip seals are widely used as sealing mechanism of rotary and reciprocating shaft. Double lip seal has comparatively high stiffness and dynamic radial eccentricity. Usually material of these seals is made of elastomer and nonlinear finite element analysis is required to analyze behaviour of this material because Young's modulus is varied with working load. In this paper, MSC MARC/MENTAT is used for nonlinear analysis of double lip seal with pressure variation and interference. The contact normal force of double lip seal between lip and shaft is analyzed to reduce power loss when shaft rotates.
