O-ring Pusher seals | Heavy-duty Single-cartridge Seals with Non-pressurized Quench
Features mechanical seal type sbw
- California Residents: PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
- Balanced design — sudden changes in pressure do not affect seal function.
- Springs are located in the stationary part of the seal, in the seal water; shaft misalignment will not vibrate the springs or wear out the O-rings. The seal water washes the springs.
- Cartridge design — no measurements necessary for installation, easy to install, reduces possibilities of human error.
- No drive pins in contact with faces — no face-cracking during start-up.
- Available in different materials — selection covers all single applications.
- Unpressurised water quench — at high temperatures, the seal is cooled with an unpressurised (quench) wash. A V-ring prevents wash water leakage.
Recommended Applications type sbw
- Process pumps
- Other rotating equipment
