Cartridge Mechanical Seal Conversion of Southern Cross Vertical Pump
THIS SOUTHERN Cross Vertical Pump was recently converted from gland packing to a cartridge mechanical seal.
Our Engineering Department specially designed and manufactured a custom cartridge mechanical seal for this specific application.
Mechanical Seals Can Save You Money
ITT Lowara VS Pump Mechanical Shaft Seal
Silicon vs Silicon Carbide
IN MECHANICAL seals main friction happens in the axial direction, between faces (seal rings) lapped to a high precision. Wear is compensated in axial direction by springs or bellows.
Many mechanical seals do not wear shaft at all. Contact pressure and thus the friction force is kept to a minimum by a balanced design.
