Standard Mechanical Seals 3

Installation - protected seal face

⚫ The bellows
protects the seal
face radially

Assembly - direction

No danger of
damaging the
seal face

Standard Mechanical Seals 4

Installation - so simple, so easy!

⚫ Wet the shaft

⚫ Push the
mechanical seal
over the shaft

That's it!

Standard Mechanical Seals 5

Save torque transmission

⚫ Bellows
protected from
damaging
torsional forces

- Millions
successfully in
operation

⚫ No direct torque
transmission
by metal
components

Standard Mechanical Seals 6

Save torque transmission

by "L"-Rings and use of a strong ⚫ Bellows

torsion-resistant spring protected from
torsion by anti-
independent of direction of rotation torsion device
in "L"-Rings

Standard Mechanical Seals 7

Self-cleaning effect

⚫ Non susceptible
to
dirt and glueing

Standard Mechanical Seals 8

Heat transfer by turbulences

⚫ Robust spring
produces
turbulence

Excellent heat
transfer

Long service life

Standard Mechanical Seals 9

Not sensitive to deposits

⚫ Bellows
compensates
for deposits:

- Additives in hot
water pumps

- Solids in waste
water pumps

- Shaft is
protected
against fretting
