Max Speed10 m/s (33 ft/s)

Product Description

Single seal in split configuration
Balanced design
Independent of direction of rotation
For plain shafts
Semi-cartridge construction
Built-in flushing connections
Designed with external pressurization
Factory assembled fully split single seal, 2 x 2 segments
Stationary design with multiple springs

Technical Features

1

Economical to assemble as the complete dismantling of the equipment is not necessary to install the seal

2

Reduces down time due to ease in installation

3

Rugged seal construction

4

Distortion of the seat is avoided by mechanical decoupling of the clamping ring

5

Ease in installation due and no modifications are required because the seal is located outside of the stuffing box

6

Due to the stationary design and the elastic seat mounting a high tolerance of shaft deflections can be accommodated

7

Low leakage is achieved by the elimination of secondary seals which eliminates leakage paths between split components

8

Shaft is protected by uniform torque transmission through the clamping ring which prevents damage caused by set screws

9

Springs are product protected to avoid contamination and clogging
