- Description
- The product is a carbon graphite mechanical seal face. The seal face forms one of the two primary sealing surfaces in a mechanical seal assembly. Manufactured from pressed and sintered carbon powder, and resin-impregnated to enhance strength and reduce porosity. The sintered mixture is then machined into a ring shape, featuring a lapped sealing surface essential to the function of the mechanical seal. Each seal face is custom-designed and combined with other mechanical seal elements to meet precise specifications and intended solely for specific mechanical seal applications used in industrial rotary applications, to prevent leakage between rotating and stationary elements.
