Centrifugal Pumps Mechanical Seal

Pump Knowledge Menu | Centrifugal Pumps Suppliers

In some situations, packing material is not adequate for sealing a centrifugal pumps shaft. One common alternative method for sealing the shaft is with mechanical seals. Mechanical seals consist of two basic parts, a rotating element attached to the pump shaft and a stationary element attached to the pump casing. Each of these elements has a highly polished sealing surface. The polished faces of the rotating and stationary elements come into contact with each other to form a seal that prevents leakage along the shaft.
