    Product Description Design Features


    The Type 6A is a compact, single-spring, elastomer ■ Sealing Faces
    bellows mechanical seal. Precision surface finish optimizes the service life and
    ■ Type 6A seals are designed for use in small centrifugal water reliability. Materials designed to meet the broadest range
    pumps, deep and shallow-well jet pumps, swimming pool of applications.
    pumps, submersible pumps and wastewater pumps. ■ Flexible Bellows
    Full convolution elastomer bellows provides maximum
    flexibility in compensating for shaft movement and wear.
    Performance Capabilities ■ Spring
    ■ Temperature: Coil spring provides consistent face loading through
    -40˚C to +205˚C/-40˚F to +400˚F (depending on materials extreme working conditions.
    used) ■ Positive Drive
    ■ Pressure: Seal face torsional movement is restricted by dent and
    ID: 0.5 bar/7.20 psi groove positive drive arrangement to minimize torsional
    OD: Up to 5 bar g/75 psig stress on the flexible bellows.
    ■ Speed:
    ■ Rotating Mating Ring
    Up to 10,000 rpm (depending on seal size and face materials) Rotating mating ring allows operation at higher speeds
    Up to 2500 fpm (13 m/s) than comparable rotating seal head arrangements.
    ■ End Play/Axial Float Allowance:
    0.127mm/0.005" FIM max.
    ■ Shaft Runout: 0.13mm [0.005" per inch] FIM max.
    * For Larger Runouts, Consult John Crane Engineering.
