Universal Shaft Seal

The High Performance Shaft Seal

Constructional Features

Universal shaft seal rings are produced without metal housing and do basically consist of three elements:

  • fabric-reinforced Elastomer to secure the seal rings against the casing bore.
  • seal lips made from a homogeneous Elastomermixture with addition of PTFE (minor friction!)
  • stainless steel garter spring

Application

Universal shaft seal rings are generally used in the engine construction, however, mainly with heavy equipment and shipbuilding (e.g. rolling mill, power transmission, propeller shaft, water turbine etc.).
In addition to the above, they are used where shaft seal rings in a metal housing may not be applied.

Universal shaft seal ringsare available in various types, in split and endless version.
