In addition, due to the high pressure conditions, premature failure of the pump's mechanical seal and bearings can be expected.
In 1939, the company invented the first automotive mechanical seal.
All mechanical seals must contain the four elements described above but the way those functional elements are arranged may be quite varied.
In 1990, the world market for mechanical seals was estimated at $1 billion.
A system of mechanical seals are used to prevent the pumped liquid from entering the motor.
Also bearings or mechanical seals may be damaged and need to be replaced.
A hydrodynamic seal is a type of mechanical seal.
Four mechanical seals are required to seal the two shafts.
For that purpose, a mechanical seal is mounted on the pump shaft.
An important application area is lubrication of machinery components such as fluid bearings and mechanical seals.
