Please guide em to calculate the "torque required to overcome the friction in bearing seal"

Thanks

This is too complicated and thats why you are not likely to get any reply

The torque required in any seals is generally too low with respect to the usual torque available on the shaft to be of any significance. It is simple, the

torque → Power loss →heat generated → Seal Failure

So typically the seal frictions and the pressure (in case it is lip seal through the garter springs, or the compression in O rings) , lip materials etc are maintained to have a required torque of fraction of a N-m even at high speeds.

Additionally you have the lip lubrications.

To calculate the torque actually requiredm you have too many variables to consider -

Working temperature, Lip material, Pressure, Lubrication parameters, Lubricant, Shaft/ Sleeve material, Friction coefficient, ....

You can always contact the specific bearing manufacturerer qith all your parameters, and he may help you, But is will be too insignificant to be of any use.
