Mechanical Seals

What are Mechanical Seals?

Mechanical seals are precision-engineered devices designed to prevent leakage between two surfaces in relative motion, typically in rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, and mixers. They play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of industrial machinery by sealing fluid passages and preventing leakage of liquids or gases.

Features of Mechanical Seals:

  • Available Drop-in Replacements
  • Available Customized Laser Etching With Your Brand Information
  • Robust, Balanced Rubber Diaphragm
  • Short Working Length
  • Highly Accommodating & Reliable
  • Suitable For Common American Standard Housings
Mechanical Seal Material Options

Functions of Mechanical Seals:

  1. Sealing: Preventing leakage of fluids from the equipment.
  2. Containment: Restraining the process fluid and preventing it from escaping into the environment.
  3. Lubrication: Minimizing friction and wear between sealing surfaces.
  4. Compensation: Accommodating shaft misalignment and axial movement.
  5. Temperature Regulation: Managing heat generated by friction within the seal.

Mechanical seals find widespread use across numerous industries, including:

  1. Electric Submersible Pumps
  2. Chemical Processing
  3. Oil and Gas
  4. Water and Wastewater Treatment
  5. Food and Beverage
  6. Power Generation
  7. Mining and Minerals
  8. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
