Notes

Notes: General technical features of carbon floating ring seals – compact, efficient, and reliable Our carbon floating ring seals offer a high-performance solution for demanding sealing requirements in machines and systems. The most important advantages at a glance:
  • Compact design: Short axial and radial dimensions – ideal for use in small installation spaces.
  • Minimal leakage: The very small operating gap ensures extremely low leakage and increases efficiency.
  • Dry running: No need for additional lubrication – low maintenance and reliable operation.
  • Adaptable: The sealing rings follow radial shaft deflections and ensure reliable sealing even under dynamic operating conditions.
  • Contact-free running: The sealing rings run without contact, which means there is no additional friction – this saves energy and protects the machine.
