About Conical Spring Seals
Conical Spring Seals are extremely rugged & reliable, therefore it is used in a wide range of sealing applications. It can be easily assembled or dismantled. The seal arrangement does not require any modification, in case of conversion from gland packing to mechanical seal. The compact design eliminates the requirement of extra radial & axial space for its installation.
Versatile Seal Face MaterialsSelect from advanced materials like Ceramic, Carbon, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, and Chrome Steel for optimal compatibility with various process media. This flexibility allows for longevity and efficiency in diverse industrial conditions, minimizing wear and maximizing operational uptime.
Reliable Sealing PerformanceDesigned with a balanced conical spring and a high-quality elastomer (5570 Shore A hardness), these seals assure exceptional sealing integrity. Whether installed on the inside or outside of the product medium, they provide leak prevention in challenging environments under high pressure and speed.
Broad Industrial ApplicationsConical Spring Seals are ideally suited for use in pumps, compressors, agitators, mixers, and a broad spectrum of processing equipment. Their adaptable configuration and material diversity make them a preferred choice for manufacturers, suppliers, and operators across the Indian industrial sector.
FAQs of Conical Spring Seals:
Q: How do conical spring seals prevent leakage in rotating equipment?
A: Conical spring seals utilize a mechanical sealing mechanism comprising a conically wound spring, seal faces, and secondary elastomers to create a tight yet dynamic barrier around rotating shafts. This balanced structure effectively prevents process fluid leakage, even during high-speed or high-pressure operation.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing different seal face materials?
A: Selecting from materials like Ceramic, Carbon, Silicon Carbide, or Tungsten Carbide provides chemical, thermal, and wear resistance that suits specific application needs. The right material enhances seal reliability, extends service life, and reduces maintenance costs.
Q: When should conical spring seals be employed in industrial setups?
A: These seals are ideal for applications where reliable shaft sealing is critical, such as in pumps, compressors, agitators, and mixers operating under varying pressures, temperatures, and speeds. They are particularly useful when media compatibility and compliance with DIN, ISO, or API standards are required.
Q: What is the recommended installation process for conical spring seals?
A: Conical spring seals can be installed as component or cartridge types. Follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure the correct alignment of the seal faces, choose appropriate secondary sealing elements, and confirm proper spring compression to guarantee leak-free operation.
Q: Where can conical spring seals be sourced in India?
A: These seals are widely available across India through authorized dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers. Many suppliers offer customization options to match specific shaft sizes and operating conditions.
Q: How does direction of rotation affect seal performance?
A: The conical spring mechanical seal is designed for bi-directional rotation, ensuring consistent performance regardless of shaft rotation direction. This feature makes them adaptable for various equipment configurations without the need for additional customization.
