Mechanical seals generate frictional heat as the primary ring and mating ring rub together. Speed, pressure, seal face materials, size and fluid properties all influence the level of heat generated in ...

The importance of seal design is widely understood in the process, aerospace, automotive and other industries. Often, when a seal fails, a considerable amount of money is involved in replacing it and ...

Mechanical face seals are a good choice when minimum leakage of the sealed fluid is the most important criterion. The primary sealing interface is between rotating and stationary members that form a ...

As clean power technologies become more mainstream, offshore and river-based energy generating systems are beginning to come into their own in terms of proven performance. While the sea and rivers are ...

A spring-energized mechanical seal refers to the force used to maintain the seal face and the mating ring in close contact, which is supplied by a mechanical spring device. This device can be a wave ...
