Unbalance Seals
Conical Spring Mechanical Seals
- Cone-shaped spring geometry provides self-cleaning action, preventing debris and solids from lodging between coils
- Unbalanced face design offers a simple, reliable construction for standard-duty pump applications
- Progressive spring rate delivers steady closing force even as face wear accumulates over time
- Wide coil spacing at the spring base resists clogging better than tightly wound conventional coils
- Compact conical profile allows a shorter overall seal length than standard cylindrical spring designs
- Dependable performance across both clean and mildly contaminated fluid conditions
- Straightforward, low-maintenance construction suited to routine industrial pump service
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dependable Sealing for Standard Industrial Pump Duty
Fitting a conical spring seal involves sliding the rotating assembly onto the shaft, compressing the cone-shaped spring to its correct working length, and setting the stationary seat squarely in the seal chamber before final alignment checks — much like other spring-loaded designs, though the tapered coil shape means compression behaves slightly differently than a standard cylindrical spring. The wider gaps near the spring's base give it a practical edge in fluids that carry occasional debris or light solids, since buildup has less chance to lodge between coils. It's a dependable, no-frills choice for standard industrial pumps where operating conditions are moderate and a balanced or specialty seal isn't necessary — offering solid sealing performance without added design complexity or cost.
