Know the parts of the mechanical seal

• In pumps or mechanical devices, the biggest
  challenge is to keep the large volumes of
  pressurized fuel inside when the rotating shaft
  enters the wet area. The best and most effective
  part that makes it possible is a mechanical seal.
  It is the reason, it is important.
• Since the seal minimizes the leakage, it saves
  the environment. Also, it keeps the workplace
  clean and dry. There are no slippery or wet
  floors and no bearing failure. There is no wear
  and tear on shaft sleeves.
• Due to a mechanical seal, the mechanical
  department is not required to replace the packing
  or adjust the alignment frequently.
• Also, mechanical seals save a lot of money
  because mechanical devices work efficiently and
  without downtime.

• All the mechanical seal parts have a smooth
  flawless performance and a long service life.
  Here you know about the different parts of
  mechanical seal.
• Every mechanical seal possesses five basic
  elements One ring (usually the seal face)
  circulating synchronously with the rotating part
  (shaft) and a Secondary seal (usually O-ring)
  between the shaft and ring. A stationary ring
  (usually the stationary seat) is arranged in the
  stationary part (casing).
• A cartridge-mounted, end-face mechanical seal is
  a completely self-contained unit that houses the
  sealing componentsa gland, sleeve, and hardware.
• The Three Types of Mechanical Seals
• Cartridge
• Component
• Air

Understand the components of mechanical seals

• In industrial applications, there are various
  types of seals. But more or less, their primary
  components are similar. Lets understand them
  further.
• Mechanical seals utilize 3 component parts seal
  faces, secondary seals and The hardware that
  connects mechanical Seals into a single rotary
  piece.
• Typically, a mechanical seal contains
• Secondary static seals, V-rings, O-rings or
  wedges
• Static seal or stationary component
• Seal for the rotating component to the shaft.
• A spring member metal bellows, multiple spring
  or single spring
• Other hardware such as gland rings, compression
  rings, collars, shaft sleeves, etc.

• The basic components in a mechanical end face
  ring are the seal rings, mating rings and
  secondary sealing elements. The seal ring and
  mating ring are the primary sealing surfaces.
• The mechanical seal faces in engineered
  mechanical seals are made to order. They are
  built as per design specs.
• The most important part is the primary sealing
  surface. It can be called the heart of the
  seal. Rubber diaphragm, PTFE wedges,
  and O-rings can be called secondary sealing
  elements.
• The sealing surfaces have a combination of both
  hard and soft materials. Ceramic, tungsten, and
  silicon carbide are hard materials. The soft
  material is chosen depending on the pressure,
  chemical properties, and temperature of the
  liquid.

• The two rings are important in their operation.
  One of them is stationary and the other one
  rotates with the shaft. The lapping process
  decides the desired degree of flatness of these
  two rings. Normally, dissimilar are used for the
  two faces, one of them is hard and the other is
  soft. Thus, there is no adhesion between them.
  Preferred materials are Carbon-Graphite and
  Ceramic. In a few applications, where the
  material handled is abrasive, both surfaces are
  hard.
• Though a mechanical seal looks like a simple
  object, it has various smaller components.
  Examples are Secondary static seals, O-ring,
  V-ring, and wedges. There are static or
  stationary components. There are rotating
  components. Single springs, multiple springs,
  metal bellows, and spring members are other
  components. Gland rings, collars, shaft sleeves,
  and compression rings are other hardware
  elements. The structure of the mechanical seal is
  almost similar, except for a few
  application-specific variations.
• Beston Seals is ISO certified company specializing
  in providing solutions to all types of leakages
  by manufacturing mechanical seals and sealing
  components as per customers drawings, samples,
  or requirements.
