New Pump Seals Handle High Temperatures
ITT Water & Wastewater says its new line of
Griploc mechanical face seals is well suited
to the needs of its customers. The uniform
design of the 20- to 35-mm seals
allows the mounting procedure to be the
same for all seals in the product line, while solid seal rings and clog-resistant design
enable the seals to offer low leakage, better
reliability and longer life. A lock spring
is tightened around the shaft, offering axial
fixation and torque transmission; this prevents
damage to the shaft and eliminates
the need for grub screws. The seals perform
well in high temperatures, which alleviates
the common problem of dry running
failure. Conventional seal surfaces become
convex in high temperatures, but these
seals are designed with a slight concavity
so that they become flat when the seals
heat up.
