Function and Variety of Types

Mechanical face seals consist of two geometrically identical metal seals and two elastomeric components, which are mounted in two separate housings.

The elastomeric parts as a secondary seal take over the function of the clamping force of the spring, the static seal between the sliding ring and the workholder as well as the torque transmission. One of the two seal rings rotates with the shaft, the counter seal ring is stationary.

The plan lapped contact surfaces of both metal sealing rings are pressed against each other and axially slide on each other.

The essential functional feature of the mechanical face seal is the robust construction form, combined with very long lifecycle. The selection of the most suitable materials for the sliding ring and elastomer part ensure high wear resistance.

Mechanical face seals guarantee a fully adequate corrosion protection, as well as optimum lubricant and temperature resistance. The materials used to make elastomeric o-rings assure minimal power loss over the life of the driveseal. Thus, this seal is technically superior to other types of construction.
The standard seal usually utilized consists of two metal rings and two o-rings as- sembled to a set, which is inserted into specially shaped, conical cavities.

Alternatively, seals are also called „Square Bore Seals“, established in the market, which will appear in cylindrical recordings using plate-spring-shaped elasto- meric parts. Depending on the application, design characteristics and operating conditions, the selection of the most appropriate sealing system is carried out.
