Mechanical seals generate frictional heat as the primary ring and mating ring rub together. Speed, pressure, seal face materials, size and fluid properties all influence the level of heat generated in ...

Wear and leakage are common maintenance problems that result in pump discharge pressure dropping below optimum levels and reduced pump efficiency. Converting pumps to mechanical seals eliminates ...

Tsurumi pumps has introduced a sacrificial shaft sleeve to keep solids away from the mechanical seal on its pumps. Slurry and dewatering pumps are perhaps the unsung heroes of the construction site.
