Mechanical Seals - Function: seals rotating shafts in pumps and other rotating equipment to prevent fluid leakage along the shaft. - Benefits: reliable leakage control, reduced maintenance, and longer pump life. Available in cartridge and conventional styles for quick installation and alignment. - Compatibility and design: fits standard shaft diameters and common pump models. Single and dual configurations available to suit different service conditions. - Materials and construction: seal faces typically carbon against ceramic or silicon carbide; stainless steel housings and springs; elastomer or PTFE secondary seals. Options support a range of chemical compatibility and temperature requirements. - Performance: designed for stable sealing under varying pressures and temperatures; corrosion and wear resistance depend on material selection and fluid compatibility. - Size and service: offered in multiple sizes to match standard shaft sizes; retrofit-friendly for existing installations. - Use scenarios: 1) Water treatment and municipal pumping systems. 2) Chemical processing and solvent transfer applications. 3) General process pumps, cooling circuits, and industrial machinery. - Selection guidance: check shaft diameter, pump model, service fluid, and operating conditions (pressure, temperature). Choose appropriate material pair and configuration (cartridge vs conventional) to match the application.
