Cartex Single seals
Cartex Single seals

Features

  • Single seal
  • Cartridge
  • Balanced
  • Independent of direction of rotation
  • Single seals without connections (-SNO), with flush (-SN) and with quench combined with lip seal (-QN) or throttle ring (-TN)
  • Additional variants available for ANSI pumps (e.g. -ABPN) and eccentric screw pumps (-Vario)

Advantages

  • Ideal seal for standardizations
  • Universal applicable for packings conversions, retrofits or original equipment
  • No dimensional modification of the seal chamber (centrifugal pumps) necessary, small radial installation height
  • No damage of the shaft by dynamically loaded O-Ring
  • Extended service life
  • Straightforward and easy installation due to pre-assembled unit
  • Individual adaptation to pump design possible
  • Customer specific versions available
