    Mechanical seals consist of a rotating seal face attached to the shaft and a stationary face that mates with it. They provide a very tight seal, even for fine powders, but require flat seal faces and can be expensive to overhaul. Double lip seals use a spring mechanism to maintain contact between the seal and shaft at two points, sealing fine powders when purged, but can fail if the shaft is out of round and require frequent replacement in dry powder applications. Standard packing glands use compressed fibers or materials between plates to seal fine powders or pressures, requiring periodic tightening but maintenance.

    SHAFT SEALS

    MECHANICAL SEAL
    Description: Consists of a rotating low friction seal face which attaches to the shaft and
    a stationary seal face which mates with the rotary face. Used for materials
    down to very fine powder size or where material head pressure is significant.
    Supplied with or without air purge for additional protection.

    Advantages: • Very tight seal where even minor loss or contamination can not be
    tolerated.
    • Dynamic seal in which centrifugal force of the rotating face and high
    surface prevent leakage of powder.

    Limits: • More expensive to overhaul than packing glands (depending on the


    application).
    • Seal depends on maintaining the absolute “flatness” of the faces.

    Double Lip Seal


    Description: Mechanical spring action maintains contact of seal material to shaft at two
    points along shaft. Used for similar applications as single lip and somewhat
    finer powders when air purge is added.

    Advantages: • Automatic tension on seal by spring mechanism reduces regular


    maintenance.
    • Very inexpensive.

    Limits: • Can not tolerate out of round shafts.


    • Requires frequent replacement in dry powder applications.
    • 2 Points of failure possible, spring mechanism and seal material.
    • Generally, not good for high pressure.
    • Subject to “catastrophic” failure.

    Standard Packing Gland


    Description: Multiple strands of materials such as fibers, elastomer, metals or composite
    compressed against the shaft between solid plates. Seals well for material
    down to fine particle size or where material head pressure is significant.

    Advantages: • Periodic tightening maintains seal against leakage and extends time
    between overhaul.

    Limits: • Periodic maintenance required.


    • Must be able to remove support collar of end of shaft to replace.
    • More expensive compared to lip seals.

    Packing Gland with Lantern Ring


    Description: Hollow ring inserted between conventional packing to allow air or other
    compressed gas purge. Used when minor loss or contamination can not be
    tolerated.

    Advantages: • Provides positive pressure on seal discouraging particles from migrating


    along shaft as packing wears or foreign material from entering.

    Limits: • More costly with respect to packing glands without the ring.

    Split Packing Gland


    Description: Packing material is supported in two half-circle collars that are bolted
    together. Used to facilitate maintenance on larger shaft sizes.

    Advantages: • Allows change of the seal assembly without having free end of shaft or
    shaft removal.

    Limits: • More costly with respect to packing glands without the ring.
