Abstract

A sealing device for use in a motor. The motor, which maintains a shaft: and a frame that are interconnected by a bearing, includes a magnetic-fluid-seating device and a collecting device. The magnetic-fluid-sealing device seals the bearing with a magnetic fluid to prevent particles and fluids from escaping the bearing, whereas, the collecting device collects any particles and fluids which may escape the magnetic-fluid-sealing device.
