Mechanical seals catalogue - general information

Product catalog summary
Specifications and Measurements:
The document details measurements for mechanical components, providing dimensions in inches and millimeters. Sizes range from 0.250 to 4.000 inches, focusing on diameter and length.
Special Designs:
Custom mechanical seals are available for complex applications, tailored to specific customer needs and produced in varying quantities.
RMS Seals:
The RMS seal range is compatible with major pump brands and is suitable for industries like wastewater, heating, food, and pharmaceuticals. Compatible brands include Flygt, Grundfos-Sarlin, ABS, and Alfa Laval.
Repair Workshop and Quality Control:
Lidering provides repair services for mechanical seals, including cleaning and component replacement. Quality control involves pressure testing and static sealing checks, with additional services like diagnostic reports and laser marking.
Certifications and Standards:
The document highlights compliance with standards such as ATEX, FDA, and European regulations, ensuring safety and consumer protection.
General Information on Mechanical Seals:
Mechanical seals offer superior sealing between rotating shafts and fixed parts. Key components include primary and mating rings, secondary seals, springs, and drive mechanisms, classified by hydraulic balance and construction.
Mechanical Seal Types and Functions:
Mechanical seals prevent leakage in industrial applications. Types include:
  • Conical Spring Seals: Use axial conical springs, rotation-dependent.
  • Bellows Seals: Available in elastomer, metal, and PTFE, each with specific benefits.
  • Multispring Seals: Use multiple springs for tension distribution.
  • Wave Spring Seals: Compact, effective in waste applications.
  • Cartridge Seals: Easy to install, used in complex assemblies.
Assemblies can be single or double, with auxiliary systems enhancing performance.
Technical Specifications:
Rotation direction is crucial for seals, typically set for 'right' rotation. Cartridge seals lack specifications for stationary parts and balancing.
Installation Procedures:
Precision is key in installation, with specific requirements for surface roughness and assembly methods, including lubrication and careful insertion.
Material Selection:
Materials are chosen based on contact surfaces, secondary seals, and springs. Options include steel, carbide, carbon, and PTFE, each offering different advantages.
Material Codes:
Materials are coded for reference, indicating properties like chemical resistance and thermal conductivity.
Material Combinations and Applications:
Silicon carbide and carbon are used for thermal shock resistance, while silicon carbide against tungsten carbide is recommended for abrasive conditions.
Metals:
Various steel codes are used for different applications, offering properties like chemical resistance and durability.
Synthetic or Plastic Materials:
PTFE-based materials are recommended for chemical resistance, suitable for low pressures and speeds.
Secondary Seals:
Different codes indicate temperature and chemical resistance, with materials like NBR, PTFE, and FFKM.
Chemical Resistance Chart:
The chart provides guidelines for material compatibility with various chemicals, aiding in material selection for specific applications.

Sectors Food and pharma The food and pharma sectors are especially demanding with respect to safety in their processes. It is very important to prevent contamination with the manufactured products and the halting of production lines during the entire work flow. For this reason, the use of CIP (Cleaning in place) or SIP (Sterilisation in place) processes is quite usual. The complex chemical mixtures (alkaline solutions) used in CIP processes may damage the seals of the mechanical seals in a short time, and in SIP, high temperatures reaching values of up to 150º C can destroy conventional elastomer...

In the chemical industry, the habitual processes require sealing elements for materials with high chemical resistance. For transferring very aggressive or corrosive chemical fluids that are clean or with particles and have high viscosities, along with high temperatures and pressures, the mechanical seal materials and the type of assembly must be correctly defined: single, double, external or in accordance with API plans. Furthermore, the applications require sealing systems that guarantee safety, preventing the leakage of corrosive or flammable products that could enter the atmosphere. In this...

Sector Water treatment In water treatment operations, different processes are carried out in order to obtain a product that complies with the stringent health and legal legislation of each country. Even though water is the main element of the whole process and the main fluid used, the difficulties posed in sealing it are just as challenging as in other sectors. During the different treatments to which water is subject, the mechanical seals may come into contact with sediments, organic matter, dissolved substances such as calcium and magnesium (hard water), sulphate and carbon dioxide (acid water),...

Sector Maritime Pumps installed on ships must be extremely reliable and durable. Use of different machines: cooling pumps, fire fighting pumps or boiler supply pumps, meaning that the types of mechanical seals used in this industry are quite diverse. The main applications are for: • Cooling machinery • Firefighting systems. • Feeding boilers. • Pumping ballast water. A wide range of mechanical seal designs exist for this type of pumps, which operates in especially difficult conditions with high salt concentrations (this parameter varies, depending on the sea), at high pressures, etc. Within this...

SPECIAL DESIGNS It is not always possible to use a conventional mechanical seal. Complex applications with special requirements and pumps with small housings need mechanical seals with non-standard profiles. Our engineering centre designs and manufactures customised solutions adapted to the specific needs of our customers, in large or small production runs.
