Espey WKA300

Features

  • Multi-part seal rings, radially cut
  • Chamber seal (modular design – can be combined in any order)
  • Very small operation gap - low leakage
  • Dry running
  • Self-adjusting seal rings
  • Seal rings bear radial shaft movements
  • Compensates axial shaft movements
  • No sealing components mounted on the shaft and hence no additional shaft vibrations
  • Seal rings running contact-free - sliding faces and machine consume no additional power

Advantages

  • Segmented seal rings for easy replacement
  • High reliability
  • Log-term operation time
  • Maintainability
