A rotary shaft seal is used to protect applications with a rotating shaft in wet environments, it keeps lubricant (oil, grease or water) inside the application and prevents the ingress of water and dirt.
A rotary shaft seal is used to protect applications with a rotating shaft in wet environments. The rotary shaft seals keeps lubricant (oil, grease or water) inside the application and prevents the ingress of water and dirt. These sealing systems protect the critical parts of ships, pumps and tidal turbines against fluids.
SHAFT SEAL MATERIAL
Our rotating shaft seals are build-up with NBR, FKM or FKM-EAL lip seals, Hastelloy® C4 springs, liners, gaskets, O-rings and housing parts like metal rings. All our sealing solutions for rotating equipment contain two up to five lip seals to ensure a reliable operation. The required number of lip seals depends on the application and environment. Some form a barrier against water ingress and another to prevent lubricant leakage into the environment.
