Type T21 Metric Pump Mechanical Seals
The Type 21, a general purpose seal, has become an industry standard with OEM designers.
Made of stainless steel, it provides a service range well beyond that which is possible with comparably priced seals of other metallurgical construction.
The positive static seal between the bellows and the shaft, along with the free movement of the bellows, means that there is no sliding action that could lead to shaft damage by fretting. This ensures that the seal will automatically compensate for normal shaft run-out and axial movements.
This versatile seal can be used on a wide range of equipment including centrifugal, rotary and turbine pumps, compressors, mixers, blenders, chillers, agitators, and other rotary shaft equipment.
Ideal for pulp and paper, pool & spa, water, food processing, wastewater treatment, and other general applications.
