Abstract(in English) A magnetic fluid seal is exellent in durability because this enables contact free rotation of the shaft without fractional heat and material wears. However, when the seal is applied to a rotary blood pump, the seal fails in a week. The reason has been considered to be due to instability of the magnetic fluid sealing liquid interface induced by Kelvin-Helmholtz problem. The problem is liquid-to-liquid (Magnetic fluid/Sealing liquid) interface instability phenomenon by relative flow velocity difference of two liquids with different density. We developed for the magnetic fluid seal without the Kelvin-Helmholtz problem at relative flow velocity difference within 1.57m/s. However, when the seal, was applied to a rotary blood pump, the seal failed in 6 days. We therefore developed the magnetic fluid seal with "a shield" which minimized the effect of the rotary pump on the sealing liquid velocity. When the seal was applied to a rotary blood pump, the seal with "the shield" showed better durability (a life of 62 days).
