About Mechanical seal Type 7700
The Type 7700 is a modular dual pressurized, face-to-face, O-ring pusher, cartridge seal designed for severe duty mixer applications. It features a single rotating mating ring used by both inboard and outboard seals. This minimizes the number of components and results in an axially compact design. Inboard and outboard seals are identical, maximizing interchangeability. The Type 7700 is specifically designed to accommodate very large amounts of runout and angular deflection. The seal incorporates modular hardware to provide maximum interchangeability. Two combinations of seal face technology are available, contacting dry running (7700D) and contacting wet running (7700W) to maximize the Type 7700’s flexibility and value.
The heavy-duty Type 7700 is design-specific to serve critically important vessels in batch or continuous processes. It guards the batch from contamination, greatly reduces leakage, and extends Mean Time Between Planned Maintenance (MTBPM). For performance and durability, this dry-running or wet-running double opposed cartridge seal is in a class by itself.

Product Description Type 7700
The Type 7700 Series is a heavy-duty cartridge seal intended for use in critical mixing applications where durability and consistent performance are critical. Dual wet running or dry running designs with modular debris well and bearing housing are available to suit the requirements of the application.
Special attention to internal clearances and the rotating mating ring arrangement allows for as much as 0.180″ T.I.R. runout (radial shaft movement.) Extend MTBR, preserve batch purity and reduce leakage.
