When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of the pump between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump casing. Since the shaft rotates, preventing this leakage can be difficult. Earlier pump models used mechanical packing (otherwise known as Gland Packing) to seal the shaft. The materials used to manufacture mechanical seals vary as to the application & chemical compatibility requirements. Bearing Isolators Parker developed the unique ProTech design to provide unmatched two way sealing for zero lubricant leakage and total exclusion of contaminants. This is accomplished by using non-contact labyrinth seal technology. ProTech features the most effective labyrinth design for both dirt exclusion and oil retention and is far superior to isolators that rely on internal o-rings or other internal seals for sealability. If you want more than just an o-ring for bearing protection – step up to ProTech! Braided Packing Braided Mechanical Compression Packing, also commonly known as braided packing, compression packing or mechanical packing, is a soft, pliant and resilient material that is used to inserted into the annular space or stuffing box to seal a rotating or reciprocating device such as pumps and valves. Bellows Bellows are used in areas where hygiene and purity are essential, such as food preparation and the pharmaceutical industry. Computer optimized asymmetric bellows profile makes this the most versatile formed metal bellows seal available. The even stress distribution in the bellows, reduction in weld length and smooth profile lead to greater reliability in many areas of application.
