They provide a seal by being compressed between surfaces through mechanical contact. They are mostly designed with simple geometric structures, and are easy to assemble and low-cost. It is widely used due to its cost-effectiveness. However, current seals are based solely on the compressive force of the surfaces. Because they function in this way, they undergo deformation over time and lose their flexibility. It can lose its properties. Material fatigue and temperature fluctuations can occur during prolonged use. Effects such as hardening or loosening due to changes in the seal This reduces its performance. Additionally, manufacturing tolerances and assembly differences are also a factor. Because of this, gaps can form between surfaces, allowing sound, dust, water, or air to enter. This can lead to leaks. 2 Passive wick solutions used in current technology are suitable for different pressure conditions or Sufficient performance in applications requiring high sealing performance.
