Radial Shaft Seals

From Applied Industrial Technologies
 

 

Want to go a long way toward preventing those excess costs associated with seal failure? Understanding and improving seal system performance starts with a thorough understanding of seal composition, operation, and maintenance.

There is an important, but often misunderstood, element in every pump system.
Seals - particularly radial shaft seals - have a profound effect on the longevity and performance of a pump system. Rubber radial seals provide economical and versatile protection for bearings in pumps, gearboxes, and motors. Their contact with the shaft offers both positive fluid retention and hermetic sealing of the housing. However, they do have practical and technical limits. Careful definition of the application requirements and a holistic approach to seal specification will yield a balance of properties with optimum service life.


Products & Services
Piston pumps and plunger pumps are reciprocating pumps that use a plunger or piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber. The plunger or piston is actuated by a steam powered, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive. Piston pumps and plunger pumps are also called well service pumps, high pressure pumps, or high viscosity pumps.

Diaphragm pumps use a diaphragm that moves back and forth to transport liquids from one place to another. Search by Specification | Learn more about Diaphragm Pumps
Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement). Search by Specification | Learn more about Industrial Liquid Handling Pumps
Positive displacement pumps use a mechanical force such as gears, bladders, pistons, plungers or diaphragms to push liquid through and out of the pump. Search by Specification | Learn more about Positive Displacement Pumps
