Anonymous Poster	Hard Vacuum Seals 02/26/2008 8:06 PM
	I'm trying to seal a rotating shaft that is going into a vacuum vessel. The shaft is 5" in diametre and we are trying to achieve a vacuum of 0.001mBar. The shaft is doing about 600 rpm. Any thoughts or recommendations?

	Try a magnetic fluid seal. LORD offers such fluids and they give as well support for design.
