Note: Applied with Plan 11, etc.
All seal selections perform best when the faces are located directly within the flush plan, particularly if solids, liquors, or slurries are present.
Component seals with clamped seat gland designs locate the seal faces reasonably well. Flexibly mounted seat glands should include the vent and
drain option to better locate the seal faces. The FML is always the first choice chamber for maximum self-flush path benefits.
Shaft Details
1 Radiused “sled-runner” keyways improve strength
at this stress point.
2 Offset keyways aid shaft balance.
3 Alloy identification on every shaft and sleeve
ensures that the right parts go in every time.
4 Large radii fillets add strength.
5 Accurate machining under bearings ensures perfect
bearing fits without vibration or hot running.
6 Run-out of <0.001 in (0.03 mm) at mechanical
seal allows seal faces to run true.
7 Critical surfaces ground to a surface finish of 16u
in (0.4 micron) ensure the secondary sealing ability
of mechanical seals.
8 Steel power ends handle higher horsepower loads
than stainless.
9 Minimally radiused edges ensure full contact with
impeller for reduced run-out.
