The need for renewable sources of energy grows more urgent every day. Engineering innovators are finding ways to capture energy from the natural world and convert it into safe, cost-effective power that can be stored and distributed dependably in a controlled manner. We know that power can be generated from the sun, wind and water, […]
Mechanical seals are primarily used in industrial applications involving the transfer or processing of fluids or gas in rotating or reciprocating equipment. Often, these fluids and gases are hazardous to people and the environment and can cause damage to equipment. In these instances, the mechanical bellows seal presents an ideal solution. The bellows seal is […]
The design of the modern face seal is a testament to human ingenuity, each model a fusion of cutting-edge innovation and meticulous engineering. A face seal typically comprises two main components: a stationary housing and a rotating face. The two must maintain continuous surface-to-surface contact in order to create an effective barrier against leakage. This […]
Face Seals in Antiquity The scientific underpinnings of the highly advanced, technologically complex mechanical face seals at use in industry today can be traced back to the earliest examples of rotating machinery developed thousands of years ago with the advent of agriculture and irrigation. Those earliest seals made use of rudimentary materials such as clay, […]
Mechanical face seals are commonly used in commercial and industrial applications to prevent process fluids, including liquid and/or gas, from escaping a mechanical system, as well as to keep environmental particulates from entering. Face seals are often used where a rotating shaft passes through a housing. In the typical face seal configuration, the seal face […]
Seal design is as much an art as it is a science, blending complex mathematical equations with the beauty of advanced materials to create stronger, more durable seals used across all applications. As more and more industries search for greener alternatives, seal engineering plays a critical role in reducing environmental impacts by improving performance and […]
