Single-Acting Mechanical Seals
Dry-Running and Lubricated – For Low Pressure Applications
Product Details
The key design feature of single-acting mechanical seals is that they have only two seal rings. This means they have only one interface and no seal liquid chamber. Therefore this type of mechanical seal has to be operated either under dry conditions or it must be lubricated and cooled by the liquid product.
A key characteristic of single-acting mechanical seals is that they can leak into the surroundings of the vessel. This means the vessel is not technically tight, in contrast to double and triple-acting mechanical seals. Therefore, this seal design is suitable for sealing non critical substances and for low pressure applications.
