OverviewMetal turbo seals have been engineered for applications requiring light loading, flexibility and high temperature capability. They can be spring-energized to enhance sealing performance. While primarily used as face seals, they can also be manufactured in axial configurations for specific uses such as gas turbines in power generation.
Applications- Face and axial turbine shaft seals for flexible, light-load applications
- Energy and power-generation equipment (gas turbines) and other rotating machinery with limited motion, thermal expansion or misalignment
Design & Function- Primarily designed as face seals; axial configurations available
- Option for spring-energized designs to improve sealing performance
- Engineered to accommodate limited motions due to thermal expansion, misalignment or increased springback
- Dual sealing capability (face & axial) to adapt to varied system geometries and limited motions
