A shaft seal is a mechanical device designed to prevent leakage of fluid, such as oil, water or gas, around a rotating shaft to ensure efficient and reliable operation.
Overview
Shaft seals are commonly used in machinery such as pumps, motors, gearboxes and turbines where the shaft rotates within a housing. Their primary function is to contain the fluid within the machine while allowing the shaft to rotate freely without leakage or resistance.
01
Shaft seals offer excellent flexibility and durability, effectively preventing leakage at the point where the shaft enters the pump casing.
02
Used between rotating and stationary machine parts or between two moving parts, two main components ensure effective pressure resistance.
03
Prevents leakage of fluids or gases, ensuring containment of oil, water or chemicals while keeping out external contaminants.
04
Designed to operate within a specific temperature range, with materials selected to withstand the heat or cold of the operating environment.
Shaft seals are essential in pumps to maintain operational efficiency by preventing fluid leakage and protecting surrounding equipment from contamination.
In engines and gearboxes, shaft seals ensure proper lubrication by preventing oil or grease leaks and keeping contaminants out of the system.
Automotive shaft seals are critical in engine, transmission, differential and wheel bearing applications, preventing fluid leakage and maintaining vehicle performance.
Shaft seals in industrial machinery such as conveyors, mixers and crushers prevent lubricant leakage and protect components from dust and moisture to ensure smooth operation.
